Girlfriend Was On Pill, Forgot to Get More, Started Again
Posted: 10-28-07 23:52pm

A few questions.

1. How long after starting the pill can you start assuming it is working? A month, two months?

2. My Gf was on the pill and she somehow managed to not get her next months perscription filled. We had sex with a condom between then and now (took her about a week and a half to get going again). She got started on the pill again about a week or two ago and the mid 20's of October is when her period should of started. She says she is about 2-3 days late. Is it possible she is pregnant (condom leakage) or is the pill altering her cycle?

3. If pregnant what ways are there to abort early on?

The PILL DOES alter the womans cycle, and she will have her period when the PILL says she will have her period. Smile

A womans period comes during the last week of the pills.

The pill is effective after you have taken it for 7 days, one full week.

It is unlikely that she is pregnant, but abortion is available around 5 weeks.

So it's most likely that the pill after restarting it has caused her cycle to change dates.

What if she is pregnant and due to the pill making me believe she is just having a cycle alteration I don't do anything.

5 week mark passes and I'm screwed!
