Does Birth Control regulate your period?
Truly, the birth control pill doesn't regulate a period. It replaces your natural cycle with its own cycle of no bleeding and bleeding. Unless something else in your body changes, you are likely to return to your previous menstrual pattern once you go off the pill.
That said, you may have irregular, unscheduled bleeding in your first three months on the pill. After that, you should settle into a more predictable pattern. Some women think the pill will guarantee that their period always arrives on, say, every fourth Tuesday. That may happen, but it's not likely to be thatregular.
If after three months you're still experiencing breakthrough bleeding, or if it's troublesome in the first three months, contact your health care provider to discuss the possibility of changing to a pill with a different hormone profile.

They most certainly reduce the risk of STIs
Using condoms is not risk free, but if you're planning to have sex it is significantly safer than no protection at all.

I'm no doctor, but I will say that it seems to have happened to me.

(7/17/09) Seems odd, which is why I'm also trying to research this topic. From what I've been reading so far, this seems a pretty normal part of the process as the body tries to "reset" its cycles and adjust to its own hormones. Good luck!

No, all birth control is a a hormone that blocks the onset of pregnacy. If your already prego then it cannot stop the natural order of things to happen. If you do not want to have a baby Im sure you know the one option you have, abortion, if you cant do that then your other option is to have the baby and give it up for adoption. Good luck. *Though it is not generally known, birth control pills can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting. Depending on when you believe life occurs, this can definitely be considered killing a life, no matter what other label you put on it.

What happens if you are late taking your birth control?
Taking most BCP late will not have a serious effect on their ability to prevent pregnancy, the exception to this is the progesterone only "mini pills" - being as little as 3 hours late leaves you susceptible to ovulation and pregnancy and must have a reliable form of back up until you have been back on them for 7 days with no mistakes.
If you are on a progesterone only pill and having trouble taking it at the same time daily you should discuss a more reliable form of BC with your health care provider.
