QuestionI was on Depo for about 6 months just recently stopped receiving it about 2 months ago. When I should have gotten my other injection of my Depo I started taking Yaz birth control pills. I have gotten a period after one month off of the Depo but my doctor told me I probably wouldn't get a period until about 6-12 months after stopping the Depo. Is one month off the Depo and getting a period normal? Also when I got my period, sometimes the blood would be very dark and I would get some light to dark brown discahrge, should I be worried?
And I am on my second pack of Yaz in the fourth week, on the second week of my second month of Yaz, I forgot two random pills in the second week, the two pills were not in a row, one was missed on a Monday and the other missed on a Wednesday. Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex a couple days later, he didn't ejaculate in me but could maybe a little bit of pre-*** get me pregnant since I missed those two pills in the second week ??? And should I be using protection until I'm finished with this pack...or Should I have used protection the 7 days after I missed those pills?
AnswerHi Kayla,
Thanks for your question. The scenario you are describing could possible bring pregnancy but my personal opinion is that the chances would be low. Yes, I would use protection but remember, in my opinion, "protection" is not 100% pregnancy free. It's too late to worry about if you should have used protection at this point. I would just recommend seeing if you miss your next period or develop pregnancy symptoms.
Personally, I don't recommend any kind of hormonal birth control. For what reason did you go off of depo? Just wondering. I believe depo and birth control pills have side effects and risks and I advise in Natural Family planning if possible. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more.
