my boyfriend and I started having sex
about 3 months ago .. I was "smart" about
it I guess you could say, got put on the
pill, and of course still used a condom ..
we have been dating for almost a year and
a half and both lost our virginity to each
other ..
.. about a week and a half ago, we had sex
without a condom .. he did not ejaculate
in me or anything so we didn't think it
was a problem .. this is my second week on
my pack of birth control pills and I woke
up yesterday and decided that I was going
to have another period, even though I just
had one two months ago .. I called my
mother (I'm at college) and she called my
doctor and she said that it could be since
it's only my third month on the pill that
I'm still getting used to it .. but it
hasn't happened the other two or so months
so I don't know .. she said that the very
worst take a pregnancy test .. how do you
have a period if you're pregnant?
I don't know, I'm just really confused and
really scared .. it's not just spotting,
it's like a normal, regular, heavy period
.. I'm too panicked to take a pregnancy
test .. I don't know what to do .. any
help ?!?
please !!

I work in womens health, I deal with birth
control and abortion.
A week and a half after sex, you would not
even actually be pregnant yet.
Pregnancy is not instant, it is a 2 week
long PROCESS.
Most likely it is what is called a FLUKE,
sometimes these things happen to women
that have used the pill for 2-3 years.
The pill doe snot cause a miscarriage, and
bleeding is not exactly a sign of
pregnancy.
Most likely it is just a fluke, and we do
not know why this happens.
Keep taking the pills.
Antibiotics and certain herbal
supplements are known to cause spotting in
women on the pill, this is because they
lower the hormones in the blood stream.
If you took the pill later than usual,
that too could be a cause of bleeding.
