I NEED A ASAP ANSWER ON THIS WILL BE THANKFULL
You need to be on the pill for at least a week continuously to be protected. You don't indicate when your period would normally occur but yes, you could ovulate and you could get pregnant.
If your period is late, test.
Quote:hello. im in need of an quick answer. I had a period on the 22 of november for 5days. i had intercourse dec 5 through the 8 that was a fertile week. I ovulted on the 9 and 10, but i took a birth control pill the 9 but i have completly stopped the pill and its been a 3 week period without using it. Does that work, i was ovulating friday december 9 and want to know if the pill does anything to ovulation or it does not work that way if i was fertile and had intercouse the days before ovulation. is there a chance for pregnancy in this case. hope you understand my quote.
i stopped bc since the last week of september, but i have been having cramping and its not pms feeling. When you are pregnant do you HAVE to bleed or spot?. til now theres been no signs of starting a period and have not been regular in taking the birthcontrol
No, you don't have to spot.
If your period is late, test.
BC pills are sometimes used to help regulate your periods in that they may make them more regular.
You stopped the pill just after you ovulated? In that case it is unlikely you are pregnant. The egg is only viable for about 48 hours after ovulation. Just because you stopped taking the pill it doesn't mean it's immediately out of your bloodstream. It's likely you were protected until after the 48 hours passed.
Hope I understood you correctly.
No. Taking one pill after not being on it for several week means that you are NOT protected. One pill is not enough, you need to be on it for at least 7 days in most cases.
BC pills do not prevent ovulation.
Emergency contraceptives are available and VERY effective within 72 hours.
Hope it helps.
Hi Sissis,
Glad to hear back from you.
Sometimes your period can be different. 7 days is longer than most however. With the cramps and bleeding it could be due to a cyst or possibly an infection.
Get it checked. That's the best thing you can do.
