I posted this in the wrong section, so
I've posted it in the more appropriate
section! I'm new to this place.
I have been using the birth control pill
for about 5 months. It was coming to the
end of my pack, but I didn't want to have
my period. My friends have started a new
pack as soon as they were done their last
one to prevent getting their period. I
thought i'd try this. However, I am about
a week into my new pack and I have random
spotting.
I remember one time while on my pills
(when i new to taking them) I had been
late taking some and as a result, I got
spotting. During this pack, I remember
being about 3 or 4 hours late on my pill,
but only one pill. My friend tells me to
stop taking the pills and just get my
period. However, I had unprotected sex
with my boyfriend a couple days ago and I
am scared that if I go off the pill, even
though he always pulls out before he
releases, that I may somehow end up
pregnant.
I really have no idea what to do and I'm
scared because this has never happened to
me before. If anyone, anyone at all has
experienced the same or knows what I
should do, please, let me know. Thank you

Do not be scared...
Nothing is WRONG at all.
Not everyone can or even will be able to
skip a period at all, much less on the
very first try!!
You WILL likely bleed for up to 2 weeks+
while your body is trying to figure out
what is going on hormonally.
You will need to try skipping for 2-3
months before it will likely be
successful, and in the meantime you will
have a LOT OF BLEEDING.
The bleeding is not dangerous!
Skipping is more successful on MONO PHASIC
PILLS, not tri phasic pills.

ah thank you very much!
so, would you say it is safe for me to go
off of the pill right now, since i have
spotting and just let myself get my
period? i'd rather have my period for a
week a month than try this frustrating
thing. on another note, is it safe for me
to go off the pill if i've had unprotected
sex about 3 days ago?
