Yes, that is the way it works. You are fine.
It is common. Yes as long as you continue to take your pills according to the directions you should be protected.
Hi, If you've been on birth control for over a month then you will be protected against pregnancy during this time but if your period doesn't arrive then perform a pregnancy test.
If she's been on the pill for over a month then she's protected against pregnancy.
You will not be protected against pregnancy and your period may arrive late. You need to use a condom for 2 weeks.
I believe that you should take a couple of pregnancy tests just to be on the safe side.
if you miss your period
Sure, if you've have un-protected sex. There are many, many other reasons for this "pinkness" though. Usually this is referred to as spotting. If your lmp (last menstrual period) was Dec. 18th, a home pregnancy test would give you a positive result. A positive pregnancy test can be achieved as early as 14 days after your last period, so if you're concerned, take a test! If you are not pregnant, remember to always use a condom! Not only to protect against pregnancy but also STD's!!
The spotting may be due to missing several pills or pregnancy. When you had sex after starting the new pack, because you missed several pills you were not protected against pregnancy. See your DR for a quantitative beta hcg pregnancy blood test. You'll need to ask specifically for this test from your DR or alternatively buy a home pregnancy test.
If you start using NuvaRing on day one of your period, you will be instantly protected because you are not ovulating. If you wait until days 2 - 5, you could not be protected if you have already started to ovulate.
Yes, this is an indicator of pregnancy.
The early period may of been brea through bleeding or possibly even a withdrawal bleed. If you suspect pregnancy then perform a HPT in 2-3 weeks.
No, it is not pregnancy, it has happened to me, its nothing.
