Birth Control Pills And Period Posted: 01-10-05 07:53am
Ive been on birth control for 2 years.
I was on ortho tri cyclen lo for about 2
years and this past cycle I have switched
to ortho tricyclen. My breast have
become swollen and tender and I was having
cravings all last week.
My question is: when on bcp, does your
period come exactly 28 days, or can it
come anywhere on your placebo week? Im
usually between 28 and 29 days, and I am
due today, however, I have like no
cramping, a little over the weekend and
the past two days I have been feeling
slightly bloated. I am also taking
paxil cr which also reduce pms, and I know
bcp can reduce cramping and stuff. I
had sex on dec. 28 with a spermicidal
lubricated condom (would be one of the
days I would be ovulating, if the pill
didnt inhibit this month), and ive also
had sex this past fri and sat with a
spermicidal lubricated condom, and all 3
times he pulled out right before he
ejaculated. I normally get my period on
tues night or wed of the last week,
once/twice on thurs. And last cycle it
was on tues (exactly 28 days).
