Unexpected Period After Birth Control Pill Missed - What To Do?
QuestionI recently started taking B12 supplement. Tuesday night I missed my ortho tri cyclen pill(which I never forget) and I doubled the dose on Wednesday night. I started spotting on Thursday. It continued to Friday and now I have completely started my period, which was not supposed to be here until Sunday, March 7th. My period has been completely on track to the exact day for 3 years. I am going on vacation from March 20th until March 27th. How should I take my birth control pills to get my cycle back to normal? I have continued taking the pack I am presently on. Should I stop them now and begin taking a new pack?
Will it make my period skip a week, or will it time it next month as it has this month? Please help...
AnswerI really can't predict how your period is going to change and when it is going to go back to normal. I suggest that you keep taking your birth control as you normally would, since you don't want to open yourself to pregnancy. Look into a product called Instead - you use it in the place of tampons or pads and they can help make vacations easier. They are a bit messy, but worth it! Can you also hav sex while they are in.
Hope this helps.
