I just started taking birth control
recently I have only been taking it for
about 3 weeks and I'm not suppoust to get
my period till this coming wendsday and on
friday I started to spot and now I have
what seems to be my period with the cramps
and everything..and I'm so worried because
me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex 3
days ago ( he pulled out)..and I dont know
if this is just because I just started
taking my birth control. Because I called
my doctor and they said my body may take
awhile to even out the cycle but then she
said.."if you see anymore signs of
pregnecy you should take a test." and I'm
worried and wondering if anyone else has
experienced this.

i'd have to say that if your period is
late then you should take a test. I might
take a while for the bc to set in and get
your cycle on tract....so until it's late
don't worry about it. take a test a 2 or
two after it's late. if it comes up neg
then keep taking your bc and it should
regulate.
good luck

Take a test if you miss. However, the
symptoms you describe don't sound like
pregnancy symptoms to me, they sound like
your body is just trying to adapt to the
pills.

I agree with Eiri. Those sound like
symptoms of your body getting used to the
hormones in the pills more than anything
else. The pill is very effective when
taken as directed, even if you don't use
any other form of birth control, and even
if he does not pull out. Taking a test
doesn't hurt though, so go for it if you
are really wondering, especially if you
have missed any pills or anything like
that.
