Question: Question about birth control pills?
I have been taking birth control pills for 3 months. As usual, I had my period then I started on the fourth pack. I took about 10 days of the pills before I misplaced it so I stopped eating altogether because my boyfriend will be overseas studying for 4 months before I see him again anyway. I had sex on the 8th day on the pill. But now I am starting to worry if the abrupt stop will cause the pill to be ineffective. Would I still be protected now? Am I expected to have my period soon? It has been 3 days since I stopped eating the pill. Thanks.
Answers:
As long as your were still taking the pill you should be fine , however there is a chance! as always with the pill, there is a chance. you should be starting your period soon just like when you take the last "colored" pill before the inactive ones ( the 7 of different colors)
