I missed 3 pills right before i was supposed to get my period and it came early. I finished taking my pack of pills and my period ended. So i thought.. Now im on my placebo pills and had unprotected sex and it seems that my period has come back. Is it more likely that im pregnant, or bleeding because of my whacky pill intake? Im freaked out that because im on placebos right now that the bleeding may be from an implanting embryo. Is it possible for bleeding to occur so quickly? or does my bleeding mean that im not pregant and i just need to maintain a constant schedule with my birthcontrol?

Only a test can prove if you are pregnant in a month, but your bleeding is from you messing up your pills. The whole point of the placebos is to allow you to have a period. When you missed 3 pills your body thought you were on to the placebos. So you started bleeding then you took the regular pills and they stopped your bleeding, THEN you started the placebos and your body started bleeding again right? Thats normal if you miss pills. Take a pregnancy test in a few weeks. Good Luck

did you only have sex while on the placebo? the prime time for a regularly menstuating woman to become pregnant is a 3 day window about two weeks from the first day of her last period. (count 14 days from the first day you start bleeding, then plus or minus 3 days.) also, sperm can live in the vagina for several days. birth control only works if it's taken correctly. more than likely, your bleeding is caused by the way you have taken the pills. if you are having a hard time remembering to take your bc, then you should probably switch to another method to ensure you do not get pregnant. try Depo Provera shot. works for 3 months. and if you are irresponsible with your sexual health by having unprotected sex..hence the reason you are worried about being pregnant...then maybe you need to take a break from that recreational activity as well.

If you had unprotected sex while on your Placebo, make sure you can get your hands on some Emergency Contraception. But first, make sure you get a pregnancy test (I'd do both). You should always have a back up, just in case you forget to take your pills. Remember, if you're due for your period, and you take placebos and still have unprotected sex, you can still get pregnant. Period or not.

For one, you need to take your pills consistently. They are regulating 2 hormones artificially that usually regulate themselves. So if you miss pills, your hormone levels will change and cause the breakthrough bleeding. Then you finished the pills (hormones) and when you reached the placebo pills, the bleeding started again because your hormone levels dropped. You just messed up your cycle. You need to take your pills consistently and also use some other form of protection for the next month. I doubt that you are pregnant now, but could become pregnant this month if you don't use additional protection while taking the pills correctly.

Implantation bleeding doesn't happen for about 2 weeks after unprotected sex, so it isn't that. This is just your period and it's a little messed up since the mess-up with the pills. The odds are in your favor and you probably aren't pregnant.

Your period is messed up because you forgot to take your birth control in order. Implanation bleeding happens 6 days after ovulation. Not all women have implanation either.
