Lack of birth control hormone
Posted: 02-15-08 15:02pm

I've been taking birth control (Yaz) for about three months. I stopped taking it recently (the week before January ended) because I forgot about it. I kept reminding myself to get it refilled with February started, but of course, I forgot. Now it's February 15th 2008 and I've been feeling really sick. I'm dizzy, nauseous, tired, cramping, backaches..etc..

I'm not sure if it's my body adjusting to not having the birth control or if there's something else going on with me.

I appreciate any help I can get.

You COULD be pregnant.

ANYTIME you stop the pill before you finish ALL of the active pills, you can get pregnant!

You need ALL ACTIVE pills in order to be protected from pregnancy. You cannopt just atop it anytime and assume you are protected.

EXAMPLE. You have sex, and stop taking the pill the next day. Sperm can live in you long enough to fertilize an egg that you can ovulate due to missing several pills.

Take a pregnancy test to be sure.

Yes I understand that.

It was accidental of course.

But thank you for your input.
