Today is my regular scheduled period date. Is the time changes of BC & the meds messing with my period? I hope so :/ Help!
i also had unprotected sex a couple times but he pulled out. I'm worried about being pregant, bc i know precum can cause pregnancy.
All the factors you've mentioned can interfere with a normal period. It is most likely due to your birth control changes and perhaps the medications you were on. You should take your pill around the same time every day and missing one does not usually require you use another method of birth control. You can read this U. of California, Davis, missed birth control advice.
Pregnancy is always a possibility when you have unprotected sex, and you are correct that the withdrawal method is not really birth control. If your next period is more than a week late you can take a home pregnancy test, or be tested by your doctor.

Thanks! I checked that site out. It helped a lot. Also, my mom said as long as you take one pill a day it shouldn't matter? If it's a few hours later or a few hours before the actual time you normally take your pill. I don't know I believe that or not. The doctors always make it a big deal that you have to take it at the same time everyday.
