You will probably find that this is your period "trying" to start. Your body is a little confused as it should've been allowed to bleed but hasn't been given the signal to start as you skipped. Many low dosage pills don't have strength enough to allow you to skip and you will bleed anyway.
Skipping your period by taking extra birth control pills or fewer placebo (sugar) pills lowers, not raises, your risk of pregnancy.
Are you sure you are not pregnant? Maybe it has something to do with your birth control or other hormones you take.
Yes. All you have to do is skip one pill or take it too late that day.
Cramping isn't a sign of pregnancy, but it may be a sign of infection. If you're having pain, see your health care provider for an exam. If you think you may be pregnant, take a home pregnancy test.
As long as you are taking your birth control pills it is very unlikely that you would get pregnant, wether you skip your period or not. Als always if you are unsure, speak to your doctor or nurse.
By not taking it properly (skipping days, being inconsistent with the time of day you take it, not taking it for a full cycle).
No, you most likely have a bacterial infection. Go to your gynecologist and get looked at.
As your body gets ready to ovulate again, you may notice menstrual-like cramping. Severe cramps are not normal after stopping the birth control pill. If your cramps are severe, or are accompanied by painful urination, painful sex, or abnormal vaginal discharge, see your health care provider for an exam.
Hard to say. The best week to get pregnant is when you are ovulating. But, birth control pills prevent ovulation. So, some women get pregnant after skipping just a few because skipping the pills triggers ovulation for them and others take weeks or months off the pill before their body full adjusts and is ready to be pregnant. If you know you will want to be pregnant soon, but not just yet you should switch to non-hormonal birth control as soon as possible. I would talk to your doctor about any pregnancy plans you have. He can give you the best advice for you and your future baby. Good luck, D
If you've had unprotected sex or have had a birth control failure there is always a possibility of pregnancy. If you feel that you may be pregnant you should take a home pregnancy test and/or see a Dr.
No,provided you have taken it properly you are protected all the time.
Birth control is the only healthy way of skipping a period. Continous skipping of periods through birth control is not adviseable.
