Hi- I'm Ellen
I know this is a long post- but any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!
I am a 22yo college senior who lives in a TINY college town far away from my family. Here's my problem...I have been on Yas since high school and have always had extremely regular periods. However- my last cycle was really strange... I had a completely normal period during the designated sugar pills week, but then 7 or 10 days later I had ANOTHER period. I have had spotting once or twice- but this was much more like a full fledged period- super tampons and everything- it lasted about 10 days and then I spotted for about 10 more days. I didn't know what to do about taking my birth control pills because I was taking them while I was having this '2nd' period. After 4 days I stopped taking the pills... thinking that maybe I should let my body have a this 2nd period and then get back on them when it was all over. Now that it is finally over- as my luck would have it- my prescription just happens to have run out! And to make matters worse my OBGYN moved her practice out of town?! I am currently in search of a new DR but until then I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or has had experiences like this.
ALSO: I have had sex without a condom with my current boyfriend during this spotting time but not since it has stopped. And as much as I don't want to admit it- I figure that lying wont do me any good in this situation... I have also had unprotected sex with other fellas. (no 'unorthodox/high risk' sex as they call it- but then again when is unprotected sex not a high risk) My point being- there is a possibility that I could have STD. Although there are no physical signs of anything- lots of them are undetectable.
SO... Here are my questions (I know there's allot of info in this post so I figured I would make it a little bit easier!)
1. Any ideas about the reason(s) behind the early period?
2. How long will it take for the pill to be effective after I get back on it?
3. Is there any reason for me to worry about possible pregnancy? (I don't really know when to expect my next period- so I dont know when I would be 'late')
4. Are any specific STD's known for making a period irregular?
I know this message is ridiculously long- but Im just tired of worrying about it- and until I find a DR... any help or thoughts you all could give me would be much appreciated! AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING ALL OF THIS!
