on BCP but still worried
My boyfriend and I are 17 and I have been on microgestin birth control for over 3 months. A couple weeks ago my boy came in me while having sex and after that i got a period but it wasn't my placebo week. A couple days after that period, he came in me again and so the following week (my placebo week) I didn't get my period. Is that because my body doesn't want to bleed again that quickly or I screwed up and may be pregnent? Please help. How effective are these BCPs? Should we still be using a condom?

Your period could be that way because your body just decided to have a goofy month. Birth control helps regulate your period, but it isn't a for sure thing. Your body may still be trying to regulate itself.
It is highly doubtful you are pregnant if you are correctly taking your birth control. There is a chance, but it is so slim it isn't worth fretting over in the least.
Condoms are a good safety precaution. Even if you take birth control, it is always a good idea for you and your boyfriend to get in the habit of practicing safe sex.
Condoms protect against STDs. Not saying that you or your boyfriend have an STD, but it is a good habit to get into for self protection. It is in your best interest for now, and in your future.

Birth control pills are quite effective, but its always good to use a condom as well. The added protection from pregnancy makes it highly unlikely that you'll get pregnant, plus, theres always STD protections. Its good, even if you both think you're clean, something might have happened, an accidental needle stick etc.
As for why your period is out of whack, I don't know. If you only recently started having sex, that could be screwing up your period. Also, the birth control pill takes a while to fully regulate you.
