birth control
18 year old female.
okay so i have been taking birth control for about two years now, im on the one called ortho-tri cyclen lo. i first took it when i was suppose to. i think i started it on a sunday? but now i get my periods on wednesdays. your suppose to have your period when taking the white sugar pills right? well when i have my period i am taking the dark green ones for about 4 days, and then i'm on the white ones. i haven't missed a day, and so i dont know what could of gone wrong. is this bad? im still a virgin but am planning on having sex within the next couples weeks, so will this birth control still be effective? i get my period exactly when im suppose to, on wednesdays every month. the thing is during the week i take it at about 6:30am and on the weekends i take it at 10:00am. considering i dont want to wake up that early, because i wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. i know this is bad, but the weird thing is that i still get my period when i'm suppose to! i should be getting my period tomorrow, and i'm pretty sure i'll be taking the dark green one's for about 4 days, then on sunday, when i start a new pack, i'll start taking the white ones. and my period will end around next tuesday or wednesday. i talked to my parents two weekends ago, and was like "i think i should go to the doctor because i think somehow my days got messed up on my birth control, and i want to see if i can switch the times i take it.." and both of them said, "i think you will be fine. the doctor will probably want to see you in a couple months anyways just to check up on you to see how you're doing" they know im not sexually active but they dont know i am planning on having sex in two weeks. so now i'm really worried that the birth control i'm taking wont be effective, and of course we WILL be using a condom too, but i'm a paranoid freak haha and do not want to get pregnant. so will i be okay if i have sex in two weeks? will the birth control be effective like it should be? THANKS [:!

When you first start taking birth control you will experience spotting or your full blown period because you are just getting used to the medicine. After a few months your period should start coming during the week you take the sugar pills. The doctor told me that the birth control would not be fully effective until after I have taken the pills for a few months, which is probably standard for all birth control perscriptions. So that means that your period will come at times it isn't supposed to, according to your pill pack, and you should definitely use a condom until it does become fully effective. Hope I helped =] If you have any more questions feel free to send me a message.
