Birth Control :: Ovulation And Birth Control Pill, Still New To Taking Pill
I consider myself to still be new to taking the pill as a form of birth control. Just when I think I have it figured out, something new would happen which would make me doubt it's effectiveness.
I am currently using Chateal, which contains 21 active pills and 7 placebo pills. After 6 months of taking it as directed, I assume my body should be used to the side effects. I would get nausea from taking it so I switched to taking it at night. I have been taking it that way for 3 months now.
But I have noticed since first started taking it, I would get severe cramps and backaches during the second week of the pack for a few days. I assumed I was ovulating while on the pill because I noticed my cervical mucus changes throughout the month. My understanding though is the pill is to prevent ovulation thus preventing pregnancy.
Can you ovulate while on the pill? Is my birth control pill type too low of a dose for me? Could it be something else?
Birth Control :: Unprotected Sex And Missed My Pill
So in my first week of BC I missed my 6th pill, and my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex, he did not pull out. When I remembered I took my missed pill and my pill for that day. I then missed another pill and had unprotected sex, he did not pull out. This was during my normal ovulating time, I was in the bathroom today and wiped to find brown spotting. I'm not sure if I could be pregnant or if the spotting is related to missing the pill.

so i had unprotected sex and my boyfriend came in me, however i had been on birth control for three months and never missed a pill. However i took the morning after pill the next morning to be safe. Then during my week of taking sugar pills, which was about a week after the unprotected sex when my period was supposed to come it never did. I have taken multiple tests and they all come back negative for pregnancy. is it normal to miss a period or should i get a blood test done at my doctor to check?

View 1 RepliesMenstruation :: Is This Implantation Bleeding, Ovulation Bleeding, Or Other?
It happened 9 days after I finished my period I didn't have intercourse, but f*ngering with pretty much no chance of prec*m on the day after my period.
It has lasted for three days (currently)
It was a light brown/brown but is now a more dark brown/dark red.
Enough to change pads once or twice a day
Is this implantation bleeding or something else? I don't usually get this mid-cycle.
Birth Control :: Stopped The Pill After 3 Months Bleeding
I started birth control pills almost three months ago. As soon as I started taking them I bled and bled for the whole time I was on them, so almost three months. I recently decided in the middle of my third pack that I would stop taking them and get off of the pill. I am still bleeding two days after but it is heavier than the usual bleed I had on the pill. Is this my period starting? If not how long will the bleeding last until it stops?

I had my implanon removed the beginning of October and immediately started taking the pill. I have now been non stop bleeding for 16 days. Should this be happening even while taking the pill? I would think the bleeding would be stopping or at least slowing down at this point, but it's not!

I have been on the combined pill (Gederal) for a couple of years now but my doctor wants to change me to the Mini Pill (Cerelle). My Combined pill is perfect so i don't want to change. I mentioned that i had one migraine with visual disturbance and she explained to me that even one of these migraines is a reason to come off the combined pill. The combined Pill regulated my periods but she explained that this mini pill is now going to make me irregular.

View 1 RepliesBirth Control :: Plan B, Does It Work After Ovulation
My last period started Sep 5th 2014 and ended the 9th. My period calendar says I had ovulation the 17th. On the 19th I had protected sex then the condom slipped and some semen came inside of me. (my calendar also says I was fertile that day too and my last fertile date was the 20th) An hour and half later after the mishap I went to CVS got Plan B and took it. So it wasn't like I waited 12 hrs or a day to take it. So my question is will the pill work even though I already ovulated. They say the pill is 95% effective when taken within the 24 hour time frame. I did feel dizzy and nauseous the morning after taking it and I was also very tired. I also felt some minor cramps the other day and lower back pain as well. So do you guys think I have a slim chance of getting pregnant even though I ovulated and took it 3 days after I ovulated?
And I mean why would they sell the pill if it only prevents ovulation because some girls don't even know when they ovulate or when they are most fertile.

View 1 RepliesBirth Control :: NuvaRing Missed Period!
I guess I should start at the beginning. I was on Nuvaring and was always regular (even when not on BC), I stopped Nuvaring Oct of 2015 due to having bad migraines, my gyn and I wanted to see if it was the cause. Still had them, so in February of 2016 I restarted it. I had a period the last week of Jan (was getting them every 2-3 weeks due to coming off of it). I had it again the week of Feb 2. I had protected sex Feb 5th and was still lightly bleeding then. I started the ring a few days later. That month...no sign of my period the ring off week, so I took high doses of vitamin C to start it. I bled really heavy for 5 days. In March I had a very light period for 3 days. And in April, it was so light it barely showed on a panty liner, only when I wiped or peed. When I was previously on NuvaRing, I always had heavy periods and when not on BC heavy as well. I have taken 8 tests- all which are negative including one last month. I was going to test again, but I figure I'd have a positive and symptoms by now as I'd be about 14 weeks.
What could the problem be? Hormones? Or a I pregnant and not showing on tests? Should I discontinue the ring until I become regular?

I would like some help (Because deciding whether or not I will take Plan B pill) Anyways. I have been on birth control for about almost 2 years now. I have always been good about it, but I have been stressed this month so I messed up a bit. First I missed it on the very first white pill that you start (I didn't double up, I took regularly) then I missed it this week once (the third week pills) which was a few days ago (again I didn't double up, I just took regularly after) then today I had unprotected sex. I have plan b and am contemplating on taking it in order to be safe. My questions are:
If I didn't take the Plan b, would I be okay?
If I do take the plan B, will it make me super sick? and should I take my birth control regular since I have took Plan B?
