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 almost cannot get pregnant during your period. The human menstrual cycle is nominally four weeks. Starting with the first day of your period, normally you will become fertile on about day 14. Your fertile period thus is at exactly the opposite end of your cycle from when you are menstruating. This does not mean that you cannot get pregnant from having sexual intercourse during your period. Normally, menstruation is 14 days after the start of your fertile period. If you have a short cycle, say 22 days, and your period is the first four days of that, and you have sex on day 4 of your period, when your fertile time starts on day 8 it will be only four days since you had sex. Sperm can live up to 6 days, and so it is possible that you will become pregnant.
