alright, im 17 yrs
old and ive been on bc for two years.
Everyonce in a while I miss a day and I
take two the next and so on. Ive never
really had an off period. Well the other
week I missed 4 days so I took them all
at once. Yeah I know that prolly wasnt
the smartest thing in the world. Well its
been a week since my period left, and now
im having the brown spotting constantly.
I havent had sex in over a month, and when
I do have sex I use protection, and the
last few times I cant even do it for 5 min
or so and my partner cant even get there
because the latex hurts me down there. Im
also having bad migraines and been
vomiting and stomach pains. I need help!
Im scared!

Hi turshe,
since your body is relying on the pill to
regulate your period, your period is most
likely going to be very irregular for a
little while now. You may need to take a
pregnancy test just to make sure you are
not actually pregnant, and continue taking
your birth control pills. Keeping in mind
you will need to be a little careful for
the first couple of weeks taking them, as
you won't be fully protected.
Many women are allergic to latex on
condoms, so it is not unusual to find
condoms uncomfortable.
As for the migraines, stomach pain and
vomiting, that could be caused by many
things, including the fact that you are
worrying so much about your situation and
I would imagine taking a whole month worth
of bc pills would be enough to make you
feel unwell.
Have you been to see your doc ? Maybe you
could ask for some help in getting a
pregnancy test, and also getting yourself
back on track with your birth control.
Good luck.

You probably have headaches and nausea
because you missed 4 days of the pill and
then took 4 at once! Don't do that! The
most you can take together is 2. If you
miss more than that you are suppose to
quit taking them and then start a new pack
after your period. The spotting is
probably breakthrough bleeding from taking
4 pills. Be careful. If you cannot
remember to take a pill, go on the patch
or depo.

Praise the lord the nausea vomiting and
other problems are gone. Im still
spotting a little and my normal period
should be starting by wednesday. Im
feeling better knowing that the nausea was
probably from being dumb with my birth
control and not morning sickness, i've
also lost a few lbs, prolly from getting
sick so much... Well thanks for the
tips!!!
