pregnancy and birth control? serious answers please?
Dee asked:
i’ve been on the pill for 2 weeks now. i’ve also been spotting/bleeding a little bit [like just when i wipe] every day that i’ve been on birth control. my breast are sore and i have cramps sometimes. my first question is, do i still have my period? because i hear that you can have your period for about 3 weeks after you start birth control.
my second question is since i’ve been on birth control, my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years [with no stds] ejaculated in me for the first time today and i was wondering what the chances i could get pregnant are?

Pregnancy And birth
ANY TIME you have sex you can get pregnant no matter where in your cycle you are and no matter what contraceptive you use.
You’ve only been on it for two weeks, you should be using a condom for the first MONTH of birth control pills. Even then it is only 99%.
NOTHING is 100% except for abstinence. The pill and the pill/condom combo is only 99% effective when used as directed.
So, you could be pregnant.

I dont kno what type of the pill you are on, but spotting when you have jus started is pretty normal. I also had the whole tender breasts, cramps thing. I do suggest going to the doctor though just to be sure.
They say that the pill takes afect after a week so the chances of you being pregnant are very slim, but if you’re worried you can ask the doctor for a test. But I wouldnt worry if i were you.
Whether you have your periods will depend on what pill you have, if its the combined pill (not sure if you’re in england or not) you will, at the same time every month during the rbeak, if you’re on the progestreon only the chances are you won’t.
Go talk to your doctor who can explain everything, and read the instruction leaflet with the prescription.
And Terri dont scare the poor girl! there is a chance yes, no matter when you have sex, but it is slim. Go see your doctor to put your minid at ease.

Kudos for getting on the pill. Your question can be difficult to ask because of the number of different choices for birth control pills (BCP) out there. The best advise anyone can give you is to follow up with your doctor. Call the office you got your prescription from. Most of the time you can talk to a nurse about your symptoms and he/she can tell you if what you are experiencing is normal for the type of pill you are on. Spotting, tender breasts, cramps, etc are common side effects for starting on a BCP. It is possibly your doctor may want to change your prescription to another pill and may want to see you. You must remember getting on the pill is going to start changing the chemistry of your body - you have to expect some side effects. Please report everything you experience to your doctor. When it comes to your boyfriend ejaculated inside you and the chances you are pregnant are also difficult to answer because the onset (when the medication starts working) of birth control pills vary depending on then name (manufacturer) of the pill. However, I believe they suggest you wait four weeks before having unprotected sex. You need to follow up with your doctor with this as well. Doctors and drug companies making birth control pills also suggest using a secondary method for protection because the pill is not 100% effective (nothing is). So my suggestion (trying not to be rude) is pull out if you are only going to use the pill. Pulling out is no where near as effective as other birth control options but it does lower the chances slightly.
