Q: I Quit My Birth Control

asked by: tortuga_groupie on July 27th, 2007

I was on birth control for about a year. I was almost up with the month and realized that I wasn't going to be able to get to the doctor in time to give me a prescription so I stopped taking my birth control the day before the first day of my period. That was two weeks ago and I still haven't stared my period. My boyfriend and I used the pull out system (which I know dosn't work but i thought that and birth control would do the trick). Is it possible I'm pregnant or could it be that my cycle is all out of whack?
Thanks,
Hayley

When did you have sex with your boyfriend? It he pulled out while you were still taking the pill, then you are probably not pregnant and it is probably just messed up from the pill.

If you had sex after you stopped taking it, you could be pregnant. You should take a test.

You should be fine. Stopping cold-turkey can really mess up your body. I stopped bc too after 2 years, and I haven't gotten my second period after the whole month off.
