Teen Pregnancy?
Posted: 01-20-06 10:16am

I've recently had a bad case of mono, and still have it however. I had jaundice due to my hepatitis and I was in bed for 3 weeks. I used to take the pill prior to mono however, had to go off it because of the illness. I've recently started having sex with my boyfriend and haven't gotten my period yet, and its been 31 days since the beginning of my last period. I did take 2 birth control pills last saturday. I took them 12 hours apart since I heard it has the same effect as the morning after pill. Also, I noticed today that i've lost 4 pounds in 2 days. I don't know if this can relate to anything but if anyone has any advice of info for me that would be great.

Taking two pills twelve hours appart does not have the same effect as the morning after pill. You need to take birth control every day..

You are having risky unprotected sex and expect the outcome to be Not Pregnant? Unprotected sex leads to pregnancy. Doubling up on your birth control pills will not stop a pregnancy at this point.

Use condoms and wait for a few weeks before testing for pregnancy.

Take a pregnancy test! If its been 31 days since you had your last period your only a few days late right? If thats correct you should be able to take a pregnancy test by now adn get correct results.
