Ok so I'm on birth control but I sometimes mess up with taking it. About 3 weeks ago? I had unproteted sex. I just finished my last iron pill last night. I haven't gotten my period and I should have by like the second iron pill. So should I stop taking my birth control considering I'm at the end of the pack and wait for my period? Because if I keep taking it it'll never come. AH

Now I feel harsh for saying it like that :(

but take a pregnancy test if you're worried, or relax and let your body do its business. put your mind at ease with the test if needs be. But I do not recommend discontinuing use of your birth control, you might also want to see a doctor if you're up for that, and he would have a better course of action, maybe


It's ok lol, you're right. I think I'll try not to stress about it and if it doesn't come I'll take a test. Then work from there (with the doctor, etc)

Well back then whenever I missed a pill or 2 I'd get my period. (Because the reason I went on birth control originally was to control my period)

It's still a stupid method to get your period back in alignment.


You're right

That's incorrect. Continuing birth control does not stop it coming. If you think you may be pregnant you should take a pregnancy test. Stopping birth control means you just have the rigmarole of going back on it.

Your period could be delayed for many reasons, diet, health, weight, stress, and the obvious being pregnancy. The only way you are going to know is by taking a test.

But do not stop your birth control, it won't magically make your period reappear

why would you want the period?

To know I'm not pregnant..

In the box your pills came in, there should have been an information booklet. It will tell you what you should do. If you don't have the book anymore, try looking online.

You should keep taking the pill until you run out and if you turn out to be pregnant get an abortion and start taking the Depo shot

Sound like a plan lmfao
