Hi, You shouldn't be bleeding for weeks after this incident. See your doctor and change Birth Control pill. It most likely isn't the correct pill for you.
When you're taking the birth control pill, you don't have a menstrual period. Instead, you have withdrawal bleeding. Menstrual periods are vaginal bleeding the follows ovulation by 14 days. Withdrawal bleeding is vaginal bleeding brought on by sudden cessation of hormone ingestion. Whether you have unscheduled bleeding from missing a pill or scheduled bleeding during your placebo week, neither is called a menstrual period.
Missing a birth control pill can result in breakthrough bleeding. As the hormone level in your body drops, bleeding can occur.
You can take birth control to have a show of vaginal bleeding, but birth control does not "jump start" your period. When you stop taking it, you are likely to return to your previous pattern of menstrual bleeding (or lack thereof) unless something else changes in your body.
you will have to have your blood tested right after incident
When you miss birth control pills, the hormone levels in your body drop and you could have bleeding. If you're missing pills often, consider another method.
No, you should always take your birth control pills as scheduled regardless of bleeding. Contact your health care provider if you have pain or unusual vaginal discharge along with the unscheduled bleeding.
The bleeding is caused by missing the birth control pills and is known as break through bleeding. If you are sexually active you will need to take the morning after pill to prevent pregnancy from occurring. Meanwhile, use a back up method of protection for 14 days to prevent pregnancy from occurring and continue taking birth control daily as normal.
Nothing, this is a perfectly normal withdrawal bleed from missing your pills.
The brand name of the vaginal ring for birth control is NuvaRing.
It's possible to have unscheduled bleeding in the first three months of birth control use. After that, you should settle into a more regular pattern. There is no medical phenomenon thought of as "your body acting up on birth control." If you are bleeding heavily, have been bleeding for a prolonged period, or have additional symptoms like pain or unusual vaginal discharge, you should contact your health care provider.
Break through bleeding is common when you miss a pill or more. Because you have been bleeding for 14 days you need to see your doctor and rule out pregnancy and possibly chance the doseage of your BCP.
It's convenient to start the birth control pill, patch, ring, injection, IUD, or implant on the day your period starts, as you then have immediate protection; however, it's not strictly necessary. If you're talking about taking birth control after you've been on it a while, you should take your birth control as scheduled regardless of vaginal bleeding.
