Yes. When I started taking mine, I started having crazy mood swings after just a few days. It only lasted the first 2-3 weeks for me, but I think anywhere from 1-3 months is normal.
yes you can just take the birth control, when you stop your period should start three to four days after.
Yes. Birth control is NEVER a 100% blocker. The only surefire way is abstinence.
A short period is common when stopping hormonal birth control. Your regular period should return in four to six weeks.
use backup protection. Even if you take 4 days worth in 1 day, you can still get pregnant.
good new is you had your period meaning you are not pregnant.
You should use a back up method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've taken the pill correctly for seven days.
This is normal because everyone adjusts to birth control differently. Some people will not bleed at all while others might bleed the whole time they are on the medication.
get yourself on birth control, don't EVER rely on a man when it comes to birth contol HOWEVER much you love and trust him, it will be YOU who is left holding the baby with your life ruined.
Birth control pills prevent you from getting pregnant, not help you get rid of the fetus after it's already there.
When you first start taking birth control, your period may arrive or it may not. Its different in every woman. If your period doesn't arrive this month then don't worry as its a common occurrance in the first month of birth control. Continue taking your pills as normal.
If you are on the birth control patch and then stop, you'll ovulate two to four weeks afterwards. The timing of ovulation is unpredictable. I think you're confused on this point; the fact that you say "we're off by 5 days" seems to indicate that you think you ovulate on a schedule on the birth control patch. That is not the case; the birth control patch normally prevents ovulation. If you want to conceive, stop using birth control.
You should act like you have never taken birth control before as far as protection goes. Start taking birth control just like you did for the first time you started taking birth control (if you have forgotten, read the instruction pamphlet with your pills) and use a back up contraceptive (condom) for the first 30 days before having sex without a condom.
