BC pills, sex and bleeding Posted: 06-01-08 16:17pm
I began taking BC for the first time on
May 9 (a Friday and the first day of my
period). I take the pills every night
between 10 and 11:30. I had sex with no
other birth control this past Wednesday
morning (May 28 ) so I was on week 3 of my
active pills. I noticed pain in my lower
abdomen on Thursday and by Friday (the
first day of my inactive pill week) I
started having bleeding. Sometimes heavy
and sometimes light.
Is this normal? My period isn't due until
this Friday (June 6). Is this a
complication from my partner ejaculating
in me? Could I be pregnant? I didn't know
if this bleeding is normal or not. It is
enough for me to wear a small tampon to
prevent leakage onto my underwear.

Your period is due during your week of
inactive pills. It is completely normal
for it to come anytime during that week,
even on the first day of starting the
inactive pills. It is far too early to be
experiencing any signs of pregnancy, and
the only possible complications of
ejaculate STD's, or allergic reactions.
Ejaculate cannot cause a period to start.
Also, it is normal for your period to be
different than your normal ones because BC
causes a lot of changes in your body.

Thanks! So should I start a new pack of
pills if this bleeding is my period since
I'm a first day starter? Or should I
finish out my inactive pills and then
start the new pack?
