I just started birth control Do you have to take birth control for a full month before it prevents pregnancy?
usually if you take the birth control for a week straight without missing any you will be protected. even if you use birth control it isn't 100% effective, so you should use condoms to be safe.
Can you get pregnant after missing three weeks of birth control?
Yes!
Can you have a late period due to missing a day of birth control?
your period should come on the day or which ever pill it usually comes on. Missing a pill doesn't affect that. At least it doesn't for me.
What should you do if you miss a week of birth control and are now bleeding like you have a period?
Nothing, this is a perfectly normal withdrawal bleed from missing your pills.
If you repeatedly miss your birth control pills will this affect your fertility?
Yes, missing birth control pills increases the likelihood of getting pregnant.
Can drinking while on birth control affect you and cause pregnancy?
No it can't as long as you are taking your birth control pills as instructed and not missing any. Marcy
How long does orthotricyclen lo take to work?
It sounds like normal birth control. Technically it could take up to a month for your birth control to be in full effect. But this could be different based on they types of birth control you take, This information should be located within the packaging of your birth control. It is a hormone therapy. If you are concerned about becoming pregnant while starting your birth control you should use another form of contraception (condoms). Or just not have sex in that time. (You should probably use condoms anyway just as a safety measure as birth control does not protect against std's.) If you are concerned that you are pregnant you should consult a doctor and stop taking your birth control. Birth control is not an abortion pill (that is something totally different) but it could potentially harm the fetus. A good way to know if you are pregnant is missing periods (if you have been taking your birth control regularly it should be easy to calculate).
I just started taking the pill this Saturday and Thursday i had unprotected sex. Friday i missed my pill what are the chances ill become pregnant?
Was Saturday the first time you ever took it? If so, you should have been advised to complete your pack for an entire cycle(1 month) before having unprotected sex. If you missed a pill Friday and you just started taking your birth control, then sorry, but you've just officially screwed up your birth control. If you had been on your birth control for more than a month, then missing your pill on Friday would not be a big deal. Best thing for you to do at this point is to contact your doctor or pharmacist about what you should do. They will probably say that you need to either stop the birth control you are on right now and take a pregnancy test if you miss your cycle or continue taking your birth control and then complete another month of birth control BEFORE you have unprotected sex again. If you're going to have sex, please be responsible about it! If you are over 17, you can go to your pharmacist within 72 hours of unprotected sex and get the morning after pill. However, this will mess up your birth control for a month's cycle. Best thing for you to do is to take your birth control like you should and avoid unprotected sex! If you've got to have sex, use a condom and spermicide.
Do you have to be pregnant to take birth control?
No, you should not be pregnant when taking birth control. Birth control is meant to lower the risk of pregnancy.
You had a period 2 months after you gave birth you have been taking birth control for 3 months stopped nursing and have missed 2 periods What could be the reason for missing your period?
the birth control is probably it.
What do you do if you are taking birth control and you take next Saturday's pill this Saturday?
If the pill you took was a sugar pill/placebo pill, the result is like missing a pill. If you just took the wrong active pill, there is no risk. Continue taking the pills as scheduled, and next Saturday just take this Saturday's pill. If you're not sure if these were active or placebo pills, contact your health care provider or pharmacist for advice specific to your medication.
How long is menstruation on birth control?
It should be the same amount of time as when NOT on birth control.
