I started taking bc the first day of my period and i had unprotected sex (and he did not pull out) on day 9 of my pills. Right now I'm on my 3rd placebo pill and I still have not had my period. I have not had sex since then and have taken the pill within 2 hours of the same time everyday and have not missed a pill. Maybe I'm just over-reacting because I know the leaflet that came with the bc said it is effective immediately, but when do you usually start your period during the 7 placebo pills?

Thanks!

If you started your pills on the first day of your period, have taken them as directed, and not been ill within 30 min. of taking your pill you should have nothing to worry about. St johns wart and antibiotics may interact with birthcontrol. If you have not had contact with these medications then you are fine. I would normally not start bleeding untill my 4th or 5th placebo day. It was also not uncommon for me to skip intire periods (i was on low dose) I would wait untill you are to start your next day of active pills. If you have not begun bleeding yet than take a home pregnancy test. Birth control will not effect the results. Untill then try not to stress.

Even though your on birth control and you dont want to get pregnant, you should really be getting your partner to wear a condom as well. The pill isnt 100% effective!
