Missed Period While on Birth Control: What to Do?
QuestionI have been on birth control for 3 months, I was supposed to get my period on Monday (today is tuesday night). I have never missed a pill and I've always taken it at the same time. But 2 weeks ago my boyfriend came inside me a few times, and now I'm worried that I may be pregnant. Should I not have my boyfriend cum in me when I'm on birth control?
AnswerHi Andrea,
The birth control pill is very effective as long as you don't miss any pills. It should be fine for your boyfriend to cum in you while you're on the pill. As far as missing your period, some women stop having periods while they're on the pill. That's probably what has happened to you. I would do a pregnancy test just to be sure. As long as that's negative, I would keep taking the pill as you have been doing. If it bothers you to not have a period, you can usually switch to a different pill, and your period will come. Best wishes.
