Is it normal if your girlfriend just started birth control and was about to start her period but you ended up having unprotected sex and she hasn't had her period?

Wow! Sounds like a chapter out of my life story! The answer is yes and no! If she just started birth control then her body is going through some changes. Birth control makes your body believe that you are Pregnant. So you will go through some abnormal changes. So maybe that's what's going on! That happened to me too. The Pills and the patch thru my cycle off. So just be careful! I though I was pregnant but found out that it's normal. But everybody has there own side effects.

Birth control pills are taken by mouth and swallowed with a liquid. In late 2003, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a spearmint-flavored chewable birth control pill called Ovcon 35. These pills contain the same hormones, progestin and estrogen, that are present in standard birth control pills. Packages contain 21 active pills and 7 inactive pills to be taken throughout one menstrual cycle. You may chew the pills or swallow them whole. If you chew the pill, you should drink 8 ounces of water afterward to make sure the full dose reaches your stomach. The chewable version has similar side effects to other birth control pills, such as an increased risk for blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes.
