Just start a new pack. There is no reason to wait until your period. If you have missed more than one pill while the pack was lost, use a back up method of Birth Control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've taken seven birth control pills correctly. If you have trouble picking up the next pack due to insurance restrictions, contact your health care provider for help.

You are on birth control but your periods are really weird these past two months and they never have beeen before you also have symptoms of being pregnant is this a possibility?

No it dosent always mean that you are pregnant or having symptoms. Mine does it to and I am most definitely not. Its more than likely just your body adjusting to the birth control. How long have you been on birth control? Have you recently stoped, missed a day of taking it or just forgot about it? All of these and more could have something to do with it! Mine does that to me when i have missed, forgot, or just ran out and hasn't been back to the store to get it!! So don't worry! Just relax because if you are then stressing over it will cause a miscarrage.


How long after starting a new birth control does your period start?

It really just depends on what type of birth control your taking, and when you start to take them. If you missed a week or two after getting off your period then you may spot for a few days, but you should start when your supposed to.


Should you start taking your birth control while on your period?

Depends. If you just got your birth control and you have never had it before.. What you do is take it the Sunday after your period. For example. You started on a Monday. You ended on a Thursday. You take your birth control that Sunday. If you have taken birth control before.. Yes, you take it. Whether you are on or off.


Your fiance came inside of you and you were not on birth control at the moment but the next day you took a birth control pill so can you be pregnant?

It depends. If you are regularly on birth control and just forgot it that day, it is not likely but it is very possible. If you are not regularly on birth control and took the pill the day after, then yes, you can be pregnant, since usually you have to be on the pill for 2-4 weeks before a man can ejaculate into a woman without the risk of getting her pregnant.


Is it okay to start taking the pill a couple of days after your period starts or should you just wait till the next month to start taking it?
