Starting Birth Control
Posted: 03-07-07 00:10am

so i just started sleeping with my boyfriend and i decided to get on birth control. so yesterday i thought i started my period and i took the first pill but i didnt really start and then today I was sure i started so i took the second pill, but once again it didnt really start? Is this normal? is the birth control stopping my period or something? I know it makes your body believe you are pregnant and I am starting with the normal active pills not the inactive ones. should i continue taking it or just wait for my period to definately start?

Once you start taking them you should never stop for any reason unless directed to do so by your doctor. Just keep going at this point. Because you're not sure, wait one week before having unprotected sex, and you will be fine Smile

The pills shorten your cycle; this is normal.
