i just started taking birth control on January 27 2 days after my period started. the pamphlet says to wait 7 days before having unprotected sex and i waited 17 days. when i was on the sugar pills i did not take the last sugar pill and i also have been off birth control because i had to switch over and it was a big mess with the insurance and my doctor being out of the office for a few days. I have not had sex since i have been off the pill. Im just really worried if the pill worked because i have not gotten my period yet and i dont know if its because of not staying on birth control or what. please help im so worried!
