Hey everyone,
I am sixteen and was VERY leery to start
birth control. My boyfriend really wanted
me to give it a shot, so I agreed. We went
to planned parenthood I got checked out
fine and I was put on Lutera. The first
two days went great. I was so happy. The
third pill, I became really hysterical
bawling for a few hours but I just am
trying to tell myself that this is all the
hormones running their course and I'll
need time to adjust. This morning I woke
up with a terrible pain right above my
pubic bone. I am finding it hard to walk.
It's a mix between a burning and aching
dull pain, that doesn't go away even when
I am resting. It travels from one hip
bone to the other and there is a similar
pain in my lower back.
I don't know what it could be, does anyone
have any ideas before I stop the BC for a
silly reason.
My second question is, I was really dumb
and even though my doctor said give the BC
three weeks before unprotected sex, my
boyfriend ejaculated in me after two days
on it. Now, we are in a sticky situation
where I might want to stop. If I do, can I
get pregnant? If I don't stop, can I still
get pregnant since we didnt follow the
three week rule?
Thank you very much,
Em.
You should abstinent sex (or use condom)
at least 7 days after you had started
Lutera. You waited only 2 days so there is
a chance to become pregnant even if you
don't stop to take the pills. If your next
expected period get late you can do a
pregnancy test.
If the pain becomes unbearable and you
think is caused by the pills you can quit
the pills.

Thank you very much for replying,
My boyfriend wants me to ask one more
question because after I told him this he
is quite concerned.
We'd like to know if you keep taking the
birth control pills, Lutera, would that
prevent the possible pregnancy from
happening? Should I stop taking the pills
until my period or what should be my
period?
Thank you,
Em

If you're pregnant, then you're pregnant
and birth control pills won't change that
fact. If you decide to stop taking your
pills, remember that you're not protected
then and need another form or birth
control.
How long ago did you have sex? If it was
within three days ago then you can still
take plan b in a last attempt to
prevent pregnancy.
If fertilization happened any further
taking of birth control pills won't help
you to prevent pregnancy. Birth control
pills are made to prevent fertilization by
preventing spermatozoid penetration trough
the cervical mucus and/or by preventing
ovulation (egg-cell release. If
fertilization happened, pregnancy can be
prevented only with emergency
contraception ("plan B") but only if used
in the first 72 hour after the risky
sexual intercourse. Emergency
contraception are in fact pills that
contain much higher doses of estrogen
hormones than the regular birth control
pills. Emergency contraception causes
rubbing of the endometrium and withdrawal
bleeding thus prevents the implantation of
the fertilized egg-cell. Efficiency of the
emergency contraception is 70%.
You can continue taking the pills until
you get your period. If your period
doesn't come you can do a pregnancy test.
