Q: 8 days late

Im 22 years old, so lets start at the beginning.

Feb. I decided to cut my BC pills a couple day short so that I would start my period before I was suppose to so that I wouldn't be bleeding on Vday.

Well that left me with three extra pills.

On the 18th I started those three pills. I planned on getting my BC filled that Friday so that I could take it on Saturday at 10 pm. Well I forgot about it. Me and Jason dropped it off Saturday at CVS and they told me that it would be ready in 30 mins. We then went to a friends house. After we went back to CVS and they told me that my insurance had them on hold. So we decided to come back Sunday. We did. CVS told me that my insurance was not covering me, and it was 30 dollars for me there. I had an obgyn appointment that Wednesday Feb 25 I would just get them from her. Well I then started to bleed again on that Monday Feb 23 - Wednesday Feb 25 but it was really lite and spotty more like Clots. So I had to reschedule.

I have not been on the pill since Feb 21, on Feb 22 Jason came inside me. Guess who was suppose to be ovulating.

Well March 9 I started to throw up, I did once on Friday(after opening the fridge i ran to the bathroom) Saturday( after I ate a cheeseburger) and Sunday (after opening the fridge i ran to the bathroom). I took 5 test two broke, 2 neg, and 1 blurry with a neg line and another pink splotch.

I had an appointment Last Wednesday the did another urine test and it came back negative, then drew blood. They told me that it would take up to 7-10 days till they got my blood work back.

I need some advice please thank you!

You can't decide to not take the last three pills of your pack. You can skip a period, but not make it come early-- always take your entire pack as directed.

Because you were on birth control and stopped taking them mid pack, its hard to know when you'd start ovulating again. Pregnancy is obviously a possibility, but I would have been surprised if your period came when its supposed to.

I now know that it was a dumb decision. I won't ever listen to my girl friends again!

whats up
The day of my last period was Sunday, March 1st, 2009. It is now April 6th, 2009 and I still have not had my period. I have the copper T IUD and I am afraid of an ectopic pregnancy. I took a pregnancy test on April 1st, but it was negative. My breasts do not hurt (like usual right before I get my period) but I have light cramping on my sides. I did have bleeding on March 21st, but that only lasted a day. What could be going on?

wait it out. with birth control, a "period" is not really a period. a period means you ovulated. it's simply a withdrwal bleed and not really necessary. Women feels better having a period so they feel nnormal. women on birth control should not ovulate. for future references, continue taking your pills allthe way through, do not stop taking them early! if you missed the pills at the beginnning of the pack, you can still ovulate. it also depends on the type of pill, monophasic or biphasic.tell your doctor to explain the difference.
