Can missing one birth control pill cause vaginal bleeding?

Hi, You shouldn't be bleeding for weeks after this incident. See your doctor and change birth control pill. It most likely isn't the correct pill for you.

Your period comes on regulary ever month but you missed an entire month but your pd came on 4 a short time this month Could you have had a miscarriage?

If you had a miscarriage it would have been a good size amount of blood and tissue. Sometimes when you are pregnant you can bleed a little bit. I would go into your doctor right away to make sure everything is fine. first to know if you were pregnant you would had to take a hpt and have a positive result.... sometime a woman can missed a month of a period due to stress.. to know if you miscarriage you should go to a ob/gyn doctor and get check out-if you did had a miscarriage you can jeopardize your health if you don't see a doctor..best of luck

Is it possible that a late period with light brown discharge could be pregnancy?

Yes it is very possible if you think that you might be pregnant you should see a doctor immediately or take a pregnancy test some women have a period during their pregnancies.

Why is your period two weeks early?

you could be stressed, pregnant, or you could have started early because someone you've been around a lot lately started 2 weeks earlier than you and that caused you to start around the same time.

If you start taking birth control 4-5 days before your period is expected will that stop it from coming?

Probably not that quick, it takes a while for your body to recognize that correct level of the horomones in birth control to regulate your period, this as well is why you would no be protected from pregnancy that fast either. Depending on how regular your period is, it may even take a few months for it to come or not come exactly according to your pill schedule.

Could do but not definate. You can however get tablets from your doctor which can stop your period coming for a few weeks. I got them last year, you need to take them 7 days before your period is due then stop taking them when you want your period.

To what extent do birth control pills lose their effectiveness if you must store them in cold conditions below freezing temperatures for a couple of days?

Anything stored in cold temperatures actually shouldn't loose any effectiveness. Liquids become solids and solid become harder, sealing in the chemical content. Ask a pharmacist.

What would cause a woman to get two periods two weeks apart?

Stress, having intercourse after you haven't had any for a long while. Also starting the birth control pill or being in premenopause (ages 35 up, but majority of women start in their 40s) or menopause (ceasing periods.) It's best to get in and see your doctor and ask him to do a hormone test on you.

You feel really bloated lately and am very gassy and have a sour stomach a lot could these be signs of pregnancy?

It could be. Are you late? If you are late take a test. If you aren't late, wait until your period is due and test.

If you had your period and then a week later it came back is that a major problem or just stress?

Dear Reader; This is a question which raises questions to be asked by your health care provider. One of them is what are you doing that you would be that stressed? Another is have you been using BC or other meds like that. Yet another is have you made any changes in daily activity or diet? If you are in a relationship where you are being stressed and taken advantage of, get some courage and get away from it. Dwight

Is it normal for a 16-year-old girl to have a very heavy first period lasting 10 days so far with thick black clots?

My first one wasn't heavy, but everyone is different, she should go to the doctors because 10 days is a long time to be bleeding and she might be losing to much blood. Also if you (or she) is bleeding through a pad in an hour you need to go to the doctors right away.

How can you hide the smell you have when you have your period?

I totally agree with the previous answer. You can also use scented tampons or pads. This will also help. If you follow all this advise, you should not have any order. Except maybe to a dog! First of all, use tampons if you can. Pads just reek!! Second stay clean. Shower alot!! Keep your tampons orpads under control. Don't wait to change them, if you do this you should not smell I doubt very much that anyone else can smell you when you have your period. DO NOT use scented tampons as they interfere with your natural vaginal flora and couyld make things worse.

What does it mean if you skipped a period for almost two months but youre not pregnant?

It means you have irregular periods or a hormonal imbalance. There are several possibilities. If you're old enough it could be early menopause. Another possibility, remember that many hormones are fat soluable and if you're heavy it could be that your body stores enough of the hormones in fat that when you DO try to have your period you continue to release the hormone and nothing happens. Another possibility is that if you're too thin, the exact opposite could be going on, if you do not have enough body fat you will not be able to produce necessary hormones for normal periods. If none of the above seem possible to you, see your doctor since other possibilities will require medical attention.

What is the normal time frame for getting your period after giving birth?

Usually 6 weeks after giving birth but sometimes you can have your period up to 3 months later.

Why are you bleeding again after you had a period two weeks ago?

==Answer == There are many possibilities. If you are very young, it can take a while before your periods become regular. It could also be due to a Sexually Transmitted Disease, or Oral Contraceptives. It could be something as serious as uterine or cervical cancer, or something related to pregnancy, or it could mean nothing at all. If it persists, get it checked out.

Why do some women get horny while on their periods?

Simply hormonal changes drive changes in a persons sex drive throughout their menstrual cycle. Hormonal changes also drive neurological changes that see womens senses being increased during menstruation, and the brain can also incorporate increased vaginal lubrication from menstrual flow as increased lubrication when aroused. There are also some cultural factors such as the idea of sex during menstruation being a little taboo, which can drive increased arousal for some.

Can birth control pills make you tired?

== == I totally agree with the last persons answer. I'm 17 years old and I've allways had lots of energy. After I started taking birth controll I couldent seem to get enough sleep. Depending on the person and the pill, they can definitely make you tired, you can even ask your gynecologist. I have had great energy my whole life until 3 years ago when I went on the pill. I am a very healthy person who exercises daily, doesn't smoke or drink, however, I am exhausted 24/7 and I know it is because of the bc and its effects on my estrogen levels and therefore my energy.

I'll add the same thought to that- the week I went on birth control I thought I was coming down with mono. I was exhausted non-stop and no matter how many hours a night I was getting of sleep, throughout the day I needed to take naps and rely on energy drinks. I'm currently on Orthotricyclin Low if that helps. Perhaps this brand is known for this side effect.

Is it normal for a girl to have spotting on the first day of her period followed by 2-3 days of normal bleeding if she is not sexually active?

Yes, I always spot first. My doctor said to count the first day of regular bleeding as day one of my period (of course that only matters if you are trying to get pregnant, so you can save that info for later)

What does it mean if you skipped your sugar pills so as not to get your period and now you are two weeks into your active pills and you have cramping and spotting and when will it go away?

Sometimes skipping the sugar pills can result in a earlier period which could be why you're cramping. After your period arrives the cramping should receed. Meanwhile don't miss anymore pills.

Can you do a pregnancy test soon after you have slight bleeding or brown discharge just before periods?

Brown discharge on the 14th day of your period is just the end of your period blood. Stomach gurgling is not a sign of pregnancy and you would have to wait and see if you miss your period before guessing. You actually can only get pregnant the 10-14 days after your period when you ovulate(drop your eggs) and that is a hit or miss thing too.

What if your period comes three days early while taking birth control?

Birth control pills/patches can really do a number on your hormones so it's quite common for your periods to be all over the place (especially when you first start taking them or you stop them.)

What are some of the causes for missing your period?

Girls up to the age of 16 can miss periods and it's normal. Stress. Birth control. Cervical cancer. Infections. Pregnancy.
Can be so many things. Of course pregnancy, but also stress, new medications you may be taking, drop in weight/not having a certain amount of body fat, certain types of birth control pills(especially if you change brands, missed a pill, etc)., illness. . . I know there are more. If you are concerned that you may be pregnany, there are many OTC tests that can be used soon after you think you are late. Hope this helps!
Being pregnant is the most common, but in when you first have your period it can be irregular because your body is trying to get in a regular pattern of releasing eggs. Lack of food or being sick can also sometimes cause missing periods.

There are many reasons:

  • Pregnancy (if you are sexually active)
  • Stress
  • High level of exercise (professional athletes have been known to miss their period)
  • Dietary changes (malnutrition, anorexia, bulimia)
  • Hormonal changes due to medication or physical conditions or illnesses (menopause etc)
  • If you are in the early stages of puberty the period can skip a month

If you are unsure, please consult a health professional.
