Took the Pill Too Early Is It Medical Or Could I Be Pregnant Posted: 11-21-06 22:35pm
I need advice..
I know im supposed to start the
birthcontrol the sunday after my first
period.. But I wasnt thinking and I
started it the sunday after I got my first
script.. Ive been on the pill many times
in the past. I took my last pill, and I
havent gotten my period which is unusal
for me, cuz every time ive been on the
pill ive gotten my period with in 2-3 days
of comming off the pill.. Far over a week
late.. So I never started the next set of
pills.. Could I be pregnant or could this
be caused because I didnt take the pill
the correct way..? Id be greatful for any
advice..

You should have carried on taking them.
If you used a back up method for the first
7 days of starting the pill then it is
unlikely you would be pregnant, but your
cycle would be messed up from starting
hormones mid cycle.
By not continuing you will have messed up
your cycle further.
If I were you, to set your mind at ease, I
would take a pregnancy test just to be
sure.
If it is negative then start your next
pack of pills (the day really is
irrelevant they just say sunday to help
you remember which day to take the pill
on).
Use condoms or abstein for the first 7
days of pill taking.
Then stick religiously to the pill
schedule for continued protection.
If you start taking b/c pills on the first
day of your period you do not need to use
a back up methods for the first 7 days.

For the future =)
some women will occasionally miss a period
while on bc, this is nothing to worry
about, but take a pregancy test just in
case.
Even if you have spotting, bleeding, or a
missed period, continue with the pills.
