Birth control early period Posted: 03-15-08 07:48am


I have been on the pill for almost three years and my period hasn't done this for a pretty long time. I have three active pills left and my period is here and, like I've said, this hasn't happened to me in a LONG time -- when I was neglectful with taking my pills. I am now what you would consider a "perfect pill user" and that's why my period usually comes three days into the placebos. My boyfriend and I have had a lot of condom-less sex lately and I am worried this could be a sign of pregnancy. Is it?

If you are on the pill, you are pretty protected. Since you had your period and you always take your pill on time, you are 99% not pregnant. When you have your period you bleed out the tissue that the baby would be implanting itself in. Bleeding is never a sign of pregnancy. It is okay to have condomless sex when you are on the pill. You are still 99% without a condom if you are taking the pill on time every day

ON BC, you do not bleed out ANY tissue, that is because birth control ensures that your lining is VERY VERY THIN. The ONLY reason you even get a 'period' on the pill is because you stopped taking hormones, it is simply a 'withdrawal bleed' from lack of hormones. BLEEDING on the pill is NOT a sign of pregnancy. I am a health care professional WHAT is it a sign of? WELL, WE do not 100% know. What we do know is that almost ALL women will have this at some point in her "pill" years, and it is common.

Not necessarily true. I still bleed out tissue and I'm on birth control. Birth control pills decrease the amount of tissue formed, but it doesn't eliminate it.
