Pregnancy And Birth Control Pill Posted: 10-24-04 21:11pm
Hey everyone. I just have a question. I
am on birth control and on my first month
I took the pills exactly like I was
supposed to. I started the sunday after
my period. The next month however, ikinda
messed up and instead of taking it the
sunday after, I took it the week before
while I had my period. I was just
wondering what the chances of being
pregnant are. Does it still work the same
way or did I really screw myself over?
Any information is helpful. Thanks

Most pill packages have what we called
"the green pill" during the last 7 days of
your cylce usually when you have your
period. They were like sugar pills and
did not have any hormone in them. Alot
of girls would skip those and wait a week
and then start a new pack. That is okay.
And, if your pack has just three weeks
of pills and you started a new pack during
your fourth week you should be okay.
Your period was probably real short. You
may have an irregular period this time .
If you continued to take your pills it
wont hurt you. But, just remember, lots
of people have gotten pregnant while
taking the pill. Its not 100% fool
proof.
Hope this helps.
