Well, your gynecologist should have told you, or you should have read the instruction packet of your birth control pills, and it will tell you that if you miss 3 pills consecutively in one month, to throw that packet away and start a new and use a back up form of contraception for one month. Any time you are taking anti-biotics you should use a back up form of contraception because it keeps your birth control pills from working properly. So it is quite possible that you could be pregnant.

How soon do you ovulate after pregnancy?

You do not ovulate after pregnancy. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the body naturally stops ovulating and begins the process for creating the pathway for the baby to be born. If women could ovulate during pregnancy, that would mean pregnant women still participating in sex, which some do, could get pregnant, and have a full grown and half grown fetus at the same time. Imagine how complicated birth would be!

In any case a good consultation with a family physician or a gynecologist would be a good order.

Will birth control help stop bleeding from a friable cervix?

It depends on the kind of pill and on your body. Birth control pills use hormones that may aggravate your friable cervix -- just the way that a pregnancy makes women's cervices more sensitive. Different pills also use different kinds and levels of hormones.

My cervix becomes even more friable on the pill, so I've stopped taking it after decades of use. You could try it and see which pill (or no pill) works best for you. Hope this helps!
