Hi everyone. First off I want to thank
you for reading my questions. I've had
some problems the past month and I wasn't
sure where to get some quick-helpful
answers. So I figured I'd sign up on here
today, and hopefully someone could help me
out ! I'll try and make it as easy as
possible to understand because even when I
was trying to explain it to myself I was
getting confused, haha
Anywho, First off I have been on & off
birth control for the past 2-3 years. I
first started off on Yasmin my first
couple of years using the Sunday start and
in March I switched to Yaz since I was off
the pill for about 5 months and heard
really good things about Yaz from some
friends, and I continue to use the Sunday
start for my cycle.
My first month of starting the pills again
was all wacky as it usually is for me. My
2nd month was on track, but my 3rd month
was the problem. I got my period 2 weeks
before I was suppose to and it lasted the
entire 2 weeks up until a new pack to
start Sunday.
I was suppose to get my period May 14, 15,
16, & 17 but my period started on Tuesday,
May 6 and ended Monday, May 19. When I
first got it I still continued to take the
active pills everyday as well as the
non-active pills for when I was suppose to
get it for the four days and then I
started my new pack Sunday, May 18.
I'm thinking that it "reset" itself as if
I just started taking it on Sunday. So
according to my pills I'm suppose to be
getting it June 11, 12, 13 & 14. So my
question is, should it have actually
"reset" itself and will it be on track
this month now ?
Also, I was wondering if it really is true
or just a "myth" that you have to take
your birth control at the same time every
day religiously. I've heard from some
people that you HAVE to take it at the
same time every day, but I've also heard
that they just tell you that so you
remember to take it for the day but it
really doesn't make a difference what time
you take it at. I was wondering this
because I didn't know if maybe this had
anything to do with my messed up cycle
because of the fact that I usually never
do take my pill at the same time every
day. I have it set for 3PM but sometimes
I end up taking it at 3PM, then 5PM the
next day, then 9PM the next day, or even
sometimes 2AM when I get home because I
don't have my pills with me all the time.
And if you
don't take it at the same
time is it less effective because this
actually leads into the next paragraph
about my discharge question.
I had unprotected sex Tuesday, May 20 the
day after it finally ended. And
yesterday, after I went to the bathroom,
when I walked out I noticed I felt a rush
of something liquid obviously come out of
me. I knew it couldn't have been my
period since I just ended it 5 days ago,
so when I went back in the bathroom there
was tons of discharge which got me
questioning what it was from.
Could it have been from the pill finally
getting back on track for this month ?
Or, my other question, does anything like
that happen as a early symptom of
pregnancy ? Because since I haven't been
taking my pill on time, is the pill less
effective to protect against pregnancy ?
So I wasn't sure if the random gush of
discharge was because of the pill or a
possible pregnancy symptom ?
Sorry for all the questions that seem to
be never ending. This is actually my 2nd
time typing this entire post because the
1st time I typed it and tried to submit
it, it said I wasn't logged in and after I
logged in it deleted the ENTIRE thing, so
hopefully I remembered everything. But
anyways thanks again to anyone who read it
and can help me get some answers !
