I just started taking birth control pills again after being off of them for about 3 years. i just took my 3rd placebo pill last night. i have not started my period yet. is this normal? i am sexually active but have been using protection too! can't be too careful! i don't know if my body is just getting used to the pills again and i will miss a period in the beginning or if i am late due to the possibility of being pregnant--i have not missed a pill. thanks in advance!

If you have not missed any pills, odds are that you are not pregnant. But, of course, the pill is not 100% effective and does not reach its peak of effectivness till atleast 7 days after you started taking it. Did you have sex within the first 7 days of taking the pill, if so did you use an altrnate method of birth control?
Other than that, there is a good chance that your period is just delayed because your body needs to get used to being on the pill again. It might take a few months for your body to work out all the kinks. Try not to worry to much, stress can make your period later.

Well for one you may wanna get a at home pregnancy test to check just in case but alot of people miss there periods every now and then because of the pill especially after just getting on them it takes awhile for your body to adjust to the hormones but you definatly wanna check just in case cause staying on the pill if you are pregnant could really harm the baby

you just started your pills. your body needs time to take in the chemicals and react to it. you should be starting your period any day now, sometimes you won't get your period until you start another pack. you should call your doctor and ask him or her this questions and tell him or her about your fears. but if you want to make sure that your not pregnant go to the store and buy a pregnancy test, and that should answer your question on whether or not your pregnant.

I wouldn't worry about it. I start my first placebo pill on a Sunday and then I don't start my period until that Wednesday or Thursday and then start my new pack on the following Sunday. Hope that makes sense and is helpful.

because of the fact delivery administration would not defend you from STDs. purely a condom can try this. it is great that your gf is on delivery administration, as you're precise approximately it being greater effectual against being pregnant. whether oral delivery administration and different contraceptives, such because of the fact the delivery administration rings and photographs, do no longer defend you or her from STDs. Pulling out/retreating (although you elect to call it) is likewise for the prevention of being pregnant, no longer STDs. the only time it is secure to no longer use condoms is while the two one among you're monogamous and the two one among you have those days been checked for STDs and HIV/AIDS, and had unfavorable outcomes of course. whether you already know you and your better half have been monogamous, you ought to the two be examined each and every 6 months just to make advantageous. remember which you do no longer ought to have intercourse to get HIV/AIDS, and the final element you elect for to do is supply your better half an STD.

Mine was wierd for 3 months once I got back on them, I had it when I shouldnt and didnt have it when I should, let your body get used to it and keep using other protection until you are sure they are working well

Good luck!
