Q: Starting Bc W/ No Period And An Ed
asked by: astridrain09 on January 23rd, 2007
New User, Becoming EHEALTHy
My doctor just perscribed me with birth control for my acne and told me to start taking it once I get my next period. The trouble is last year I lost my period for 7 or 8 months...I recently got it back these last two months but my eating disorder has gotten bad again and now im getting cramps but no menstration. So what happens if I take my birth control without getting my period?

Please I need answers because I cant ask my doctor (if she knows I lost my period she'll take my adderall away), and if I dont take them my mom will notice.

You can start birth control anytime!

If you were having sex, you would need to wait 7 days in order to be protected, but you can start them anytime.

"sundays'' are usually suggested because it is an easy day to remember.
