I Really Messed Up My Cycle... Posted: 07-05-05 12:41pm
Okay so I accidently took my first birth
control pill on a random weekday not even
thinking about the whole starting the
sunday after ur period/24 hrs of the first
day deal. I didn't take the second pill
until the monday after my period since my
sun pill was gone, which makes an almost
two week gap in between my first and
second pill. To top that off, i've been
taking them at eradic times, one of my
pills fell down the drain, I forgot to
take the pill after that one, and took two
at once when I realized this. I know, I
know, stupid. But the thing is im not
taking this for pregancy, im taking it for
pain and irregularity and hair
reduction....I was just wondering where
should I go from here? Am I okay or
should I consult a doctor. Today I
noticed bleeding, im not sure if its
spotting or what....Help!

Where are you in the pills now? Have you
taken a whole month's worth? If you've
taken most, I would continue from now on
to take them every day. Once you start
on your next pack make sure you take them
regularly every day. It will take awhile
to get your cycle back on track.. But it
will get there. Just don't miss any
days!

My goodness! :) try asking your doctor
about the patch. I think it's ortho-evra?
This way, you just slap one on once a
week and forget about it! Well, until
it's time to put a new one on... Or
perhaps some of the injections can give
you the same benefits.
If you have a cell phone, set a daily
alarm for the time you should take it. I
had to do that the first time I started
taking bc pills. Talk to your doctor
about starting over, too. S/he may want
you to quit for a month and restart them
with a clean slate.
