First a little medical history, about a month and a half ago I had surgery for endometriosis, after the surgery my doctor put me on Loestrin 24fe. She told me to start in on January 1st.I was confused because I thought you start birth control the day your cycle begins or the sunday after, but this date was a week before my scheduled period. So I don’t know if I was protected or what when I began having sex with my bf. I have been spotting and I have been on the birth control a full month now. I’m not sure why I am still spotting. Is it possible that I could be pregnant my bf did ejaculate in me because we thought the bc would prevent pregnancy but while doing some research I read if I started it at the wrong time I may not be effective yet.

As long as you were on the pill for a full week before you had sex with your boyfriend, you were protected by the pill. If you had sex prior to this, you would not have been protected.

Regarding the spotting: This is normal especially since you started the pill mid-cycle. Whenever you start or restart the pill, you can expect some menstrual irregularities during the first three months of use. Menstrual irregularities include bleeding or spotting between periods, a missed period, lighter than normal periods, and fewer days of bleeding.

If you did have sex during the first seven days of your pill, and you don’t have a period by your second cycle, take a pregnancy test.
