A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Please someone tell me what is going on. I have been on birth conrtol pills for about a year now. My period has always been on time, never early never late. Well lately my guy and I have been having a lot more sex than usual, yes he does ejaculate in side me because I am on the pill. I take the pill the same time every day and I never forget. Today I started a little bleeding but I am 2 weeks early. I am scared that I am pregnant or I was pregnant and I am having a miscarriage. I dont want to stop taking the pill because if I'm not preganant, I dont wnat to mess up my body and then possibly get pregnant, but if I am pregnant, I dont want to keep taking the pill and hurt the baby. If I am pregnant we will have this baby together. I dont want to be worrying about this right now if I dont have to. I took a test three days ago and it was negative. Please someone tell me what I should do right now, should I stop taking the pill until I know for sure, or should I continue taking it everyday, and risk hurting the fetus. Any answers will be so apreciated. thanks.

starfairy agony auntI would take another test, or book an appointment to see your doctor. If you can't get an appointment today or tomorrow, ask the duty doctor to call you today and basically tell him/her whatyou have just said on here and ask their advice, as to whether to keep taking the pill etc until you can see a doctor.

The pill is something like 99.8% effective. But antibiotics, and instances such as vomitting or diahorrea can cause the pill to fail.

At leastyouo know you have a 100% supportive partner by your side no matter what...Good luck :o)

Enzian agony auntHi Dear

The pill normaly is a very safty birth control. But there are always exceptions. For instance the pill doesn't work together with some antibiotics and other drugs. So if you take some drugs, read the package insert and ask your doctor or chemist.

I actually don't think you are pregnant, but bleeding in the middle of the cycle is unusual (as far as I know). So I would recommend you to go to your GP or your gynaecologist just to check that everything is allright, so you don't have to worry.

All the best!

Unfortunately the pill isn't 100% reliable either, especially if you were sick or taking antibiotics as I found out last year just after Christmas - I had a miscarriage but I didn't even kno I was pregnant!!

I would advise you to go to the doctor or at least get a pregnancy test to find out...

rcn agony auntGo to the doctor if you're worried. Changes in behaviors can throw your cycle off, additional sex, if it's done a lot can make you a bit raw inside to which would explain a small bit of bleeding. The only way to tell for sure is to go to the doctor, continue the pill, unless the doctor says to stop.
