If you stopped taking your birth control pills in early January had a normal period in January and February but now you are 6 days late in March you took 2 hpt both neg could you be pregnant?

You could be pregnant, or your period could be a little late. A negative pregnancy tests suggests you're not pregnant. A 34 day cycle isn't that unusual when a woman isn't on birth control. Repeat the test in a week if you still haven't gotten your period. If you're trying to get pregnant, be sure to take folic acid. If you don't want to get pregnant, restart the pill or use some other kind of birth control.

Is it normal to have your period for two weeks straight while on birth control?

No, it is not. If you have had a couple of times when you missed a pill and then did the "catch up" thing the next day, it's possible you have unbalanced your hormones, and it is also possible that you became pregnant and are miscarrying. It is also possible that your hormone dosage just needs adjusting, there are many variables, but you should see your doctor, as soon as possible, to rule out the scary stuff and fix it if it just a minor tweaking of your dosage that is necessary.

If birth control pills are left in a car in the sun can the heat make them ineffective?

It could, there should be instructions which came with the pills when you got them. It should say "store in temperatures of ** to **" so the pills don't become ineffective. Leaving anything in the sun will raise the temperature of the pill and cause it's compounds to change. Chances are your pills will need to be replaced, but check the package info or go to webmd.com to read about your pills. Use condoms until you know for sure, just in case.

If my period starts a week early should I start the new pack of birth control pills a week earlier?

No, you should continue to take your birth control pills as scheduled regardless of any bleeding. If the bleeding is troublesome, heavy, or is accompanied by pelvic pain, pain with urination, or unusual vaginal discharge, see your health care provider.

Are there any products that can stop a period for a few hours?

There is no medication that I know of that can stop the bleeding, but using a diaphragm will cap the bottom of the cervix for a couple of hours and stop any blood. If you have already started you cannot stop, but a doctor can give you some pills which will delay it before it starts (for hours or days if necessary), good for a pool party or similar.

Can the birth control pill make your period shorter?

Hello. Yes. Birth control pills make your period shorter, lighter and less painful.
birth control will lessen the number of days you have your period because your body believes it is pregnant even though you are not. talk to a physician or go to a womans clinic to have a pregnancy test done if you believe you may be but chances are you are not. p.s. be more safe with your body

Can birth control still make you have your period even though you think you may be pregnant?

THIS IS POSSILBE, BIRTH CONTROL IS NOT 100%. MY GODSISTER THOUGH SHE WAS PREGNANT, BUT FOR FOUR MONTHS SHE CONTINUED HER BIRTH CONTROL BECAUSE SHE STILL GOT HER PEROID, AND WHEN SHE WENT TO THE DOCTORS SHE FOUND OUT SHE WAS 18 WEEKS, SO YES IT CAN HAPPEN.

You have been on birth control for 5 months is it safe to purposely skip a period and instead of taking the green pills just going straight to a new pack?

Hello. You can skip a period while on birth control pills but constantly skipping periods via birth control pills, isn't recommended. Skipping a period this once will be fine.

How can you change the time of the day that you take birth control?

Start slowly taking them at a different time. Like if you take them at 8:00am start taking them at 9:00am and keep going until you get to the time you like.

Just don't all the sudden jump from taking them in the morning to taking them at night.

Go slow and you should be fine.

How long does it take your body to go back to normal after having an IUD removed and could you be pregnant if you've had one period since its removal but you're late this month?

If you had a non hormonal IUD the Mirena then you can get pregnant as soon as it is removed and there is still a high chance of pregnancy with other IUDs it just depends on how quickly your body adjusts to not having it in place and how it adjusts to not having hormones if there were any...hope this helps Good Luck and God Bless!

I don't know where you got your information from, but the Mirena IUD most certainly has hormones (levonorgestrel- a synthetic form of progestin) in it! It is the Paraguard (copper) IUD that does not contain hormones.

After being off birth control for about 4 months your period has been pretty regular however this month it came 8 days early could this be a sign of pregnancy?

Not too sure about it being a sign of pregnancy, but if your concerned about anything go talk to your doctor and if they feel it's necessary they will perform a pregnancy test hope this helps and everything works out for you...Good Luck and God Bless!!

What does birth control do?

The birth control pill (also called "the Pill") is a daily pill that contains the hormones estrogen and progesterone that prevent pregnancy. Most birth control pills are "combination pills" containing a combination of the hormones estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation. A woman cannot get pregnant if she doesn't ovulate because there is no egg to be fertilized. The Pill also works by thickening the mucus around the cervix, which makes it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus and reach any eggs that may have been released. The hormones in the Pill can also sometimes affect the lining of the uterus, making it difficult for an egg to attach to the wall of the uterus. birth control decreases the amount of eggs your body releases therefore reducing risk of pregnancy.
helps prevent you from getting pregnant.

Is it normal for a sexually active 14-year-old who uses birth control to regulate her periods to get a brown discharge?

It really depends when you are getting this brown discharge. Brown blood at the beginning of a period is quite normal. Brown blood for a day or so at any other time during your cycle is not normal. If you are meaning that you are getting a brown discharge everyday throughout your whole cycle, it sounds like the pill that you are taking is not strong enough for you. It is not strong enough to regulate when your body is to bleed and when not to bleed, meaning that you are bleeding a tiny bit everyday. I would go back to your doctor and get a different prescription for another pill. There are many to take and you need to find the right one for you. It is NOT normal for a 14 year old to be sexually active, in fact it is ILLEGAL.

How many days after conception does your temperature begin to rise?

Your temperature lowers while you are ovulating or preparing to ovulate. Therefore once the egg is released your temperature will rise. If you do not conceive, it will fall again as you get your period and you prepare to ovulate. Therefore your daily temperature will not tell you if you have conceived, only that you have finished ovulating.

Can you take 2 months worth of birth control pills simultaneously if you have the 3 dose in order to skip your period that month and not waste a month?
