Should I Really Be Back On the Pill ? Posted: 05-22-07 10:08am
Ok, so I got off birth control for a month
because I ran out of my prescription.
During that time, I went to the doctor,
got a new prescription, and waited for my
period so I could get back on the pill.
Last Saturday I started my period. Or,
what I thought was my period. I stopped
bleeding yesterday, just two days after it
started! This has never happened before.
My periods have always been five to seven
days. So now, I'm not sure whether I
should get back on the the pill or not. Is
there a chance I might be pregnant?

Your period could be irregular because
your body was adjusting to being off birth
control. That is very common.
Continue taking your birth control pills
if you did start them as planned, but you
can also get a home pregnancy test just to
be certain you are not pregnant. There's
no sense in worrying/stressing for nothing
when you can find out for sure.

.your body was going through a period of
adjustment due to the loss of the hormones
the pill was providing. .this causes many
women to have irregular periods for moths
after stopping so what you are going
through is completely
normal.
Start your pill like you would regularly
and use a back up method for 7 days to
prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
