Please, I need any advice, im confused. Ok heres the situation...I started birth control first day of my period and had a normal 5 day period. Next 10 days was visiting my fiancee so we were having sex during those 10 days, which should've been around the time I figured my body wouldve been ovulating. The last four days i was with him i forgot to take my pill.

About 3 days later I am now having a full on period again.

Is my body just messed up from the birth control? Is there a good chance i could be pregnant?? Any advice is greatly appreciated thanks so much!

PLEASE...see your family physician.

He is the best qualified to address your medical concerns about the birth control and fear of pregnancy.

I agree that you just don't forget to take it, some part of you wants this so you think you can hold bf to you but this is not healthy and very controlling.

Leave reminders on the mirror and fridge so that you don't forget in the furture, take the pill, and use condoms to avoid pregnancy.

You are not responsible enough to even take a pill so you will not be responsible to care for an unwanted/expected pregnancy.

I sure hope this isn't the having a baby will hold him to me....please get individual counseling so you don't pass on your neediness.

camille agony auntI am very sorry to say this, but you don't "forget" to take it 4 days in a row! If you can't remember to take it, perhaps you shouldn't have chosen it as a method of birth control? The way it works is to take it as instructed.....every day. If you miss even one, it's ineffective and you could get pregnant. You are bleeding because you messed up the dose. Your body will be confused and is reacting to the missed pills, as when you stop the pill, you bleed just like a period. If I were you I would use an alternative method of contraception immediately and also, get a pregnancy test.
