I had sex with my girlfriend and found out she missed a few of her birth control pills. I'm a worrier and got worried about this..I did use a condom and I know it didnt break or leak. The only weird thing was she was on her period "sort of" I guess. There was blood but she said it wasn't her real period. I'm wondering was that was, If it means I'm safe, and what she should do about the pills
Hi Guest,
If she's missed several pills in a row she can have what is called "withdrawal" bleeding. Basically, the birth control pills keep her from having her period. When she stops taking them, she has her period.
If the condom was intact and you put it on before there was any sexual contact they are very effective. You're a smart man. Missing more than a few pills would mean that she may not have been protected.
She could check with her doctor about the missed pills. Some require that she starts at a specific time of her cycle.
Good luck.
Thank you Dan, I have also found out she had her period. Could this be true be though she isn't supposed to for a week or more? And if so is pregnancy not a possibility anymore?
Yes it can be true that she had her period early. She'll have her period when she STOPS taking the pills (or is taking the "reminder" or sugar "placebo" pills).
It's unlikely she's pregnant if she has a normal period.
