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).
Will I be getting my period?
Or should I be concerned?

I think you should be a little concerned
but not two much, if you used a condom and
it didn't break then you should have
nothing to worry about but if u usually
get your period around the same time every
month which is suppose to happen when your
on birth control, then you should see your
doctor before it get out of control. Good
luck keep me posted

I got my period on the day I was due (99%
of the time get it on wed.). It wasn't
28 days, but I know it doesnt have to
be.
