i just stared microgestin fe 1/20 june11 i had unprotected sex the next day and so on can i be pregnant

Yes, pregnancy is possible. You need to either abstain or use condoms for the first seven days of the pill. However, if you started the pill with your period (taking your first pill during your period), pregnancy is much less likely.

Since you just started the pill, you will probably notice some menstrual irregularities for the first few months. These irregularities may include a missed period and spotting or bleeding in between periods. After three months of pill use, your periods will become more regular and you will probably have fewer days of bleeding and less blood during your period.

If you haven’t had any bleeding at all by the time you start your second pill pack, take a pregnancy test. Do not stop taking your pills unless you test positive for pregnancy.

i just stared a new birth control that is progestron only called errin. i moved out of state for the summer and will only see my boyfriend once or twice a month. the birth control says it takes two days to be effective so if i only take the bc two days before he comes and while hes here would i be protected?

No, you should take your birth control pills as directed. Taking pills sporadically will not provide adequate protection against pregnancy.

Me and mu boyfriend had sex 2 days ago unprotected and I missed a birth control pill the day before that but I just got my period on the sugar pills today could I be pregnent?

If your period is normal, pregnancy is highly unlikely. Though missing a pill does slighly increase the risk of pregnancy, the risk is still relatively low.

That being said, it is still extremely important to take your pills as directed.  If you frequently miss pills, you may want to contact the medical provider who prescribed your pill to discuss a method change. If you would like to stay on the pill and you have a cell phone, you can set your alarm to go off at a certain time each day to remind you to take a pill.

I had unprotected sex with this boy 2 and a half days ago. He’s not old enough to purchase plan b..by tomorrow we have no hope. I have no one to go to for help. Please suggestions!!

If you can talk to your parents, they can buy the medication for you. Otherwise, please call your local Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office right away. If you are under 18, you can receive Plan B at no cost. Plan B can be used up to five days after unprotected sex. Family Planning staff can also talk with you about all of your birth control options and help you choose a method that’s best for you.  Your services will be strictly confidential (meaning that no one will contact your parents unless you want them to). In the meantime, do not have unprotected sex again. Either use condoms or abstain from sexual intercourse.

The chances of the unprotected sex resulting in pregnancy are dependent on a number of different things. Some of these include the number of times one has intercourse (of course, the more times you have unprotected intercourse, the greater the chance of pregnancy) and the timing of the intercourse in relationship to your menstrual cycle. You are less likely to become pregnant if the intercourse occurred just before, during, or…

I’m on birthcontrol, my Period ended on the 11th. I had sex with my boyfriend on the 16th and 17th without a condom. I started spotting on the 19th what could this be?

It is difficult to answer your question without knowing what type of birth control you are using, if you are using it correctly, and how long you have been using it.

If you are on any type of hormonal method, spotting is normal during the first few months of use since your body has to adjust to the new hormone levels. If you are on the pill and you missed a pill or took it late, you can also expect some spotting since there was a variation in your hormone levels. If you are on Seasonale or Seasonique, you can expect some spotting from time to time. If you are on the Depo shot or the implant, irregular bleeding and spotting is also normal.

Whatever type of birth control you are using, it is important that you use it correctly for maximum protection. If you are using your method correctly, the risk of pregnancy is extremely low.

If you continue to have mid-cycle bleeding or spotting and you are concerned about it, please contact the medical provider who prescribed your method.

I had sex on saturday and missed my pills from that day until today but today iv had light bleeding and my period doesn’t start until 9 days from now could I be pregnant? And yesterday I was spotting

Anytime you skip your birth control pills, you are decreasing your protection from pregnancy. Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. You are spotting/bleeding because your body is adjusting to not having the hormones (from the pills) in your system.

Restart your birth control pills as soon as possible. Pick up where you left off in your pill pack. Begin a new pill pack as scheduled. In the meantime, do not have unprotected intercourse until you have completed the current pill pack and have taken at least 7 days of the new pill pack. Either abstain from intercourse or use condoms to prevent pregnancy.

You will most likely continue to experience some spotting/bleeding until you are back on a regular schedule of taking the pill everyday. Your period may be a little earlier or later or longer than usual; this is normal. Your periods should return to a regular schedule within the next month or two.

I have been on birth control pills for the last year, recently my doctor switched me to do new brand Tri- Norinyl. After my menstrual I began to take the pill starting that sunday. I took one the following day…Monday. They made me terribly sick and i ceased use. 4 days later my period came again! after that ended exactly 3 weeks from the start of that period…It came again!(March 24th)… I had intercourse the week of april 9th without protection using the withdrawl method. I have not seen my period since! I keep taking pregnancy test that are negative but still no menstrual. Could i still be pregnant ?? By the way i had some bleeding but not a significant amount…It resembled old blood..a brown color…very scanty…and only saw more of it when i was passing a stool. should i take a blood pregnancy test? is there a possiblity that i can be pregnant now with my period being a month late(4 weeks) and negative home pregnancy test?

If your home pregnancy tests are negative, then you are most likely not pregnant. If you stopped your birth control pills, it would take your body about 1 to 3 months to become adjusted to not having the hormones. Until your body is readjusted, you may have some irregular spotting and bleeding.

Contact your doctor or clinic to discuss your concerns. Let them know that you became sick on the previous pill. You may want to consider switching to a different pill.

my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago. well i was suppose to get my period on the 16th and i’ve just been spotting and i’ve been having very bad cramps in my lower stomach and feeling nauses and some smells make me sick can i be pregnant and when can i take a test were it is accurate?

If your period is more than one week late, do a pregnancy test.

Im on the pill and my periods have been ending on a friday, i just had a UTI a week ago, and last night, knowing my period was over i had sex, but i was really dry, and he didnt cum, but my clit is sore and from him rubbing it too hard i think but now im bleeding again. is this a problem?

Even when you’re on the pills, things can affect your menstrual cycle. Stress, illness, medications, and lack of sleep can cause you to have irregular spotting or bleeding. Continue taking your pills every day. Your cycle should return to normal within a month or two.

You may be having bleeding due to irritation to your genital area as a result of friction. Abstaining from sex and applying some over the counter antibiotic ointment to the area may help decrease the discomfort. The genital area usually heals quite quickly, so you should be back to normal with a week or so.

i had unprotected sex twice on the last day of my period & he certainly cummed both times,what are my chances of being pregnant

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. The risk will differ based on the timing of your menstrual cycle. If you are around ovulation time, the risk of pregnancy will be increase. If you are close to starting your period or during your period, the risk is less.
