Family Planning Plus

I am taking the pill, and my husband and I are having sex without condoms. My period the las two months has been spotty and very unpredictable. Am I pregnant or what is wrong with me?

Pregnancy is a possibility but unlikely if you have been taking your pills correctly (at the same time everyday).  The only way to be certain that you are not pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. Occasionally, for one reason or another, women experience a change in their periods while on birth control. Sometimes, a simple pill change solves the problem. Menstrual changes can also occur for other reasons though. Contact the medical provider who prescribed your pill and describe your last two periods. They may want to perform some tests and/or recommend a pill change.

My period ended Monday. and my boyfriends and i had unprotected sex last night but he pulled out before he finished. i am on birthcontrol and take it every night but not always the same time. could i be pregent? and should i take plan b?

As long as this was not your first pack of pills, and as long as you are taking your pills everyday (within a three hour time period) and have not missed any pills, there is no need to take Plan B. Your regular birth control pills provide adequate protection against pregnancy. If this was your first pack of pills and the sexual intercourse occurred before you took a full week’s worth of pills, contact the medical provider who prescribed your pill for further instruction.

im on the 2mnth family planing injection and had my last shot the 14th november.i had unprotected sex with my partner the 28th december and he ejaculted inside me.am i pregnant?

If you are receiving the DepoProvera injection, it is effective in 24 hoursafter the first shot, and your birth control protection is good for up to 13 weeks. If you received your shot on November 14, 2011, you should be protected until the end of January.

The Depo shot is 99.9% effective. So birth control wise, you were protected. Keep in mind that the shot does not protect against STDs, so its always a good idea to use a condom. 

If you can’t remember the exact due date of you next shot, call the clinic.

so i had my period for the month about 2 weeks ago and i was in birth control for 2 years up until a month or 3 weeks ago when i ran out and couldnt get it refilled due to no insurance now. i had sex for the first time ever almost 2 weeks after my period and we used a condom. what are my chances of being pregnant? and does the condom still being in me after he pulled out effect my chances? i was told i should be ok because my birth control should still be in my system but i dont know. its only been a day since it happened but i want to make sure and i didnt know if there was a way i could get the morning after, plan b or the emergency contraceptive pill for free because i dont have any money.

If it has been less than 72 hours since the unprotected sex, Plan B should be used since the condom failed to protect you. It is not clear what type of birth control you were using. However, most hormonal birth control methods stop working as soon as you stop using them so you may or may not have ovulated. If you are under 18 years old, Plan B is free at all of our offices. If you are 18 or older, fees are based on household size and income. If your income is low enough, you may be eligible for free services.  The most you would pay for Plan B at one of our offices is $30. Unfortunately our offices are not always open, and the sooner after unprotected sex that you use Plan B, the better it works. If you are 17 or older, you can also get Plan B without a prescription at most drug stores for $50-60. Call ahead to make sure they have it in stock. If you don’t have the money, ask your partner or borrow it…

me and my gf had sex unprotected sex and im worried that she pregnant :( what do i do ?????

If your girlfriend takes the morning after pill (Plan B) within 72 hours of unprotected sex, she can reduce her risk of pregnancy. If it is too late for Plan B, the only thing you can do is wait and see. If she misses her next period, have her take a pregnancy test. If negative, have her repeat the pregnancy test every two weeks until she either gets her period or has a positive result.  If positive, you two will have some decisions to make.

In the meantime, don’t further risk an unintended pregnancy. Either abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms. Free condoms are available at all of our offices.  Just drop by and ask for them. If you and your girlfriend are planning to continue to have sex, please let your girlfriend know that we are available if she’d like to make an appointment to start a hormonal method of birth control (like the pill). Everything is confidential. If she is under 18, her visit is free. Also, minors (individuals under 18 years old) are guaranteed confidential reproductive health…

I am on a 28 pack birth control pill. I missed a pill on Monday, had unprotected sex on Tuesday, then took my missed pill waited a few hours and took my Tuesday pill and then took my Wednesday pill at the normal time…I am due to come on my cycle next week (inactive pills) could I be pregnant?

Because you missed a pill, you are at an increased risk for pregnancy.  However, your risk is only slightly increased since you only missed one pill and you made it up correctly. Keep taking your pills as directed and do not miss any more pills in your pack. The only way to know for sure if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test if you miss your next period. If you frequently miss pills, you may want to consider a method change.

After a mishap with a condom, I had my girlfriend take Plan B within first 12 hours after having sex. Due to allergic reactions she stopped taking BC beginning of November and has not had a period since. Is she still having irregular cycles at ths point? also, I heard even if you have a period after taking Plan B you can still become pregnant? How can this be possible?

Pregnancy is always a possibility when two people engage in sexual intercourse, though the risk is significantly decreased when birth control is used.  By having your girlfriend take Plan B after the condom failure, you definitely reduced her pregnancy risk. 

Bleeding during pregnancy is possible but not very common. Implantation bleeding can occur in the very beginning of a pregnancy though it is usually much lighter and of less duration than a regular period – more like spotting. Since your girlfriend has not yet had a period since stopping her birth control, she may not have ovulated yet either. However, she will ovulate approximately two weeks before her next period, which could occur at any time. Right now, her cycles can be described as irregular, and may remain irregular for a bit longer because of the Plan B use. But as soon as your girlfriend’s hormones return to their pre-birth control level, her cycles should go back to the way they were prior to having used birth control.

Wait a month after the condom failure incident.  If she still hasn’t had a period, have her take a pregnancy test….

i am on the 2month family planning injection since september this year and received my last injection on the 14th of november.i had unprotected sex with my partner and he ejaculated in me,can i fall pregnant or should i take the morning after pill immediatly?

If your last injection was on November 14, there is no need to take the morning after pill. Just be sure to get your next shot by February 5. You did not have unprotected sex with your partner since you were on the Depo shot at the time of the sexual intercourse. Your shot protects you from pregnancy, though it provides no protection against sexually transmitted infections. To reduce your risk of infection, use condoms in addition to your shot. As long as you are getting your shots on time, you will be protected against pregnancy and hence, the morning after pill is not needed.

I had sex for the first time & my boyfriend ejaculated inside, I bled a little which I thought it was normal since I was a virgin, then continued to bleed next day & realized my period was 2 weeks early & it even lasted more than usual. I also took plan b within 24 hours after having sex. Is there a possibility I might be pregnat?

Pregnancy is always a possibility, but unlikely, since the bleeding you experienced lasted longer than a normal period.  Use of Plan B can cause menstrual irregularities including an early period, a late period, spotting, etc. That is probably what you experienced.  Of course, if you miss your next period, take a pregnancy test just to be sure. In the meantime, please use a regular method of birth control if you decide to continue to have sex. Please contact one of our offices to set up an appointment to discuss your birth control options. Until your appointment, use condoms.  We have free condoms available at all of our offices. Just drop in and ask for them.

ive been on birth control for about 2 weeks & me & my boyfriend had unprotected sex ive been taking my pill everyday , i took the after pill after , i havent got my period i should be getting it by these days . am i prego ?

If you were on the pill for two full weeks and did not miss any pills when you had sex with your boyfriend, then it was not necessary to take the morning after pill. You were protected by the regular birth control pill from pregnancy even though he ejaculated inside.  The pill begins to suppress ovulation (stop an egg from being released from the ovary) after you take one full week of birth control pills.  You probably missed your period because you took extra hormones (the morning after pill) on top of the hormones you were already getting from the regular birth control pill.  This most likely overloaded your system with hormones which prevented your endometrium (the lining of your womb) from filling up with blood, and so therefore, there was no blood to be released.

 Also, during the first three months of pill use, menstrual irregularities (including a missed period and bleeding in between periods) are a common side effect. Your body has to get used to the new hormone levels. After about three months of pill use, your body becomes…
