 Posted: 04/26/07 - 05:00 Post subject: Morning-after pill while on birth control pill |
  |
|
I'm on the pill. I missed one, so I took the morning-after pill. Is the birth-control pill enough as contraception now or are further precautions needed??  Many thanks... |

If you only miss one pill, you should be covered. You didn't need to take the plan B, but now you are super covered! It is when you miss two or more pills that you need to use a back up method for at least 7 days after. Of course, missing any pills increases your risk, but if you read the manufacturers label, it says no back up method is needed when only missing one.
Because you took the plan B pill, you may get certain pregnancy like symptoms, such as backaches, tender breasts, fatigue, all that junk. I just started my period after a plan B / birth control incident. I had sore breasts for like 2 weeks and was really tired. The hormones in Plan B can really screw with your system. You may even experience some bleeding about a week after taking Plan B. |

Many thanks for your reply!
I have read that it depends on what birth-control pill you are on.
Only 1 missing pill should be ok.
I guess the best thing to do is to ask and check your manufacturers label! |

| I did the same thing - I'm on the pill, but there were 2 times that I took a pill late this month...not 2 in a row, but 2 instances, so I took the Plan B. That was 3 days ago and I've been having some light breakthrough bleeding ever since. I'm supposed to get my period in a week...Do you think I'm getting it early or that this is just a response to all the hormones flowing through me? |

|
|
| my period ended on a Sunday, I had sex later that night..and the condom slipped off. So just to be sure, I took the morning after pill the next day. The day after that, I had an appointment to go on birth control. I started the pills that day...I'm hoping my period will come late or right on time because I'm going on vacation. Is is common for my period to come late? |
