i think it depends on when you first started it. i have heard that if you start it on the first day of your period then you are automatically covered and that any other time during your period you are not covered for 7 days. but i have also heard that if you start at anytime during your period your automatically covered so im not sure but you should still use a condom for the first 7 days to make sure
course not
by taking medication like painkillers
Yes, there is a high chance. Once you miss your appointment for the next shot , over the next twenty four hours it is no longer effective . Even if your period is coming soon, its rare but you can be pregnant & on your period. good luck :)
Yes, taking a test during your period will not alter the test results, however if you are having a normal period, chances are that you are not pregnant. ~pawsalmighty
why would you take PT if you're on your period?if you're having your period it means that you don't have to be worry on getting pregnant.
If you wait the required 6 weeks before having sex then start taking them after your first period after having a baby and wait 30 days for them to get into your system before having unprotected sex.
Right on the first day. It will take a month before the pills will be effective.
There is no guarantee that taking birth control will stop you from having your period. You will most likely have your period anyway.
Your period shouldn't affect the test! There is really no point in doing a pregnancy test during a period. Usually, if you are having a period you are not pregnant. A pregnancy test senses the BHCG hormone so your period should not affect it.
If by birth control, you mean "the pill" you should be able to have safe unprotected sex within 7 to 30 days after taking your first pill. It is important to read what information you have on the type of pill you are taking, and/or to talk to your doctor to make sure you are safe. Remember- the pill does not protect against STD's. If you use it and condoms, you will be even more protected against pregnancy and safer from STD's!
The only way to stop an irregular period is to start taking birth control. Usually, you will become very regular when taking the pill and some people stop having periods all together when they go on the shot.
You are probably just having the cramps because your body isn't used to not having your period, although I don't see why you aren't having your period if you are on birth control. You should ask that!
