Rightho, I've been on the pill for 21 days now, and am now on a break. First, I may as well tell you I've been taking it pretty much exactly the same time each day and to the letter of the instructions, which are:
*Take a pill on the first day of your period, and take it for 21 days. Then take a break for seven days. You should have a lighter and shorter period within these seven pill-free days.
I'm not too worried, as I have taken all 21 pills and I'm on my break of 7 days - but I'm on the third day and still no period. My period normally lasts about 8 days, but when i started taking it it lasted a full 10 days and was much heavier.
Is this lack of a period simply the way my body is reacting to the pill in the first few months?
Me and my boyfriend have had sex, but it has been protected with a condom as well as the pill this month. Could I be pregnant?
During these seven pill free days I was advised its fine to have unprotected sex; so me and my boyfriend yesterday decided to try it. Because he wasn't lubricated enough it was quite painful for him, so we'll be investing in some, and we never finished - I mean, he didn't come in me.
I know pre-come could contain some sperm, but as I'm on the pill, I'd think considering the one time I did have unprotected sex, he didn't even finish, it would be unlikely I was pregnant.
I'm sorry for bothering you!
Could I be pregnant?
Is it just my body reacting to the pill?
Thanks! :)
If you are really worried though, a quick
call to the doctors office will help. Just
ask to talk to your doctors nurse. She can
let you know if its a problem. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Your body might just be reacting to the pill because sometimes when you go on pills for 21 days, your body could be reacting with with. No i don't think you could be pregnant. You just might want to have a test done to see if you are pregnant or not. [ jordyn011395's advice column | Ask jordyn011395 A Question ]
