Hi, I have been with my boyfriend for 14
months. And we always have unprotected
sex. I have been on the pill for a
little over a year and I usually don't
miss any pills. This past month I have
missed quite a few pills and I have been
bleeding. I can tell it's not my period
because it's very dark blood and it goes
away and then comes back. Like in the
mornings it won't be there but towards the
end of the day there will be some in my
underwear or when I wipe, and it's not
really heavy. And also when we have sex
there is no blood. But i'm supposed to
have my period this week. I have been
feeling very sick to my stomach, urinating
a lot, tired, and bad stomach and back
cramps, eating a lot and gained weight in
my lower stomach. Last month I really
felt like I was pregnant and took a home
preg. Test and it was negative. Should I
take another one? Is bleeding a sign of
pregnancy? Help someone

Take another one in a few days. Because
you messed up on your pill, it messes up
your period. And since youve taken it for
over a year, it should still have the
effect to cover you for a little while, at
least the month you got off. You should
get on it again though. If you are still
worried, take another one. But I think
its because you got off the birth control.

When I skipped my pills, I would bleed
very heavily. This was actually why I
came off the pill because I was very
inconsistent and it was causing huge
problems with my period.

Please see a doctor if you are unsure if
you're pregnant ir not. A lot of women
have unusual bleeding when they have a
miscarriage, and sometimes women just
think that they have had multiple periods
in a month, when it was really a
miscarriage, and they never even knew they
were pregnant. Please use a condom along
with the pill if you do not want a baby.
There are so many unwanted children out
there, and it's sad because there are so
many people who want to have a baby of
their own, and can't conceive. If you do
want a baby, and are ready for one, good
luck, and best wishes.
