Am I Suppose to Expect Something? Posted: 04-30-07 21:29pm
I'm so confused. I quit my birth control
b/c i ran out of my prescription and
couldn't get it refilled soon.. well, I
missed first 4 active pills of my new
pack and had unprotected sex on sunday 22.
(fourth pill) so i decided to wait till
the next cycle incase i may have gotton
pregnant. Usually when I skip pills I have
breakthrough bleeding. And I haven't had
anything?! Whats wrong?

A lot of things could be happening. You
could be pregnant. or, your body could
just be reeling from the stopping and
starting and then stopping again of birth
control. I would wait aout 28 days from
when you stopped the 4 pills that you
took.

You should have taken PLAN B.
You can start birth control ANYTIME you
wish, but you must wait 7 full days for it
to be effective.
You could be pregnant, especially becaus
eyou can ovulate soo soon after missing a
new package.

Maybe you didn't have any breakthrough
bleeding because you just had your
period??
True, you could be pregnant. Or not. I
would suggest just waiting and finding
out. You don't sound like it would be the
end of your life, because you stopped
taking the pills when you thought you
might be pregnant. I'm guessing that's
because of the strange warning on the
package... "Do not take if you are
pregnant or might be pregnant" Why not?
Does anyone know? I thought b/c pills
weren't harmful to a baby if you are
pregnant. If they aren't, I would suggest
starting to take them again right away.
