Question Posted Tuesday September 21 2010, 7:15 pm
okay sooo what happened was in august i was supposed to get my period towards the end of the month but because my boyfriend was going away to university, i kept taking my pills (started a new pack) to postpone my period so we could have sex. Spotting occurred but whatever. because i started a new pack too early the period that i was supposed to get after that new pack i didnt like the timing of, so i waited a day and started the next pack, hoping to change my cycle back to the way it was. Now, i have to problems..
1. my period has been spotty for like the last 2 weeks and every time it seems to go away, it comes back. How long before the spotting goes away? hopefully by this weekend seeing as i have a wedding to go to :(
2. I thought i was okay to have sex so i did and there was a little blood, but my boyfriend came in me... do i have a high chance of becoming pregnant because even though i am on the pill, i skipped a day like the week before we did it to try to change my cycle

Also if you did miss a day then yes there is a chance that you could get pregnant because the birth control is not going to be as effective if you have missed a day. I would continue taking your birth control and see if your period straightens itself out and the next time you have sex use a condom for a month just to be sure that the birth control has had time to become as effective again.
If you do not want to wait you can always go to your doctor and talk to him about it. Or if you feel as though talking to a doctor would make you feel better then go, you can never have too much information or ask too many questions.
