hello, well here is the scenario, my girlfriend and I have been sexually active, she is on the pill and has been for 5 months now and we do it unprotected( no condom ) last week she was convinced she was pregnant, she took 4 tests 2 were + and two were - and she claimed she gained 10 pounds. the thing is though, yesterday she was sick as hell and her period started and she claims she lost wait. she said it wasn't quite normal blood. but seeing she is on the pill and still has 2 weeks til she is on the sugar pill i am scared she might be having a miscarriage. she has some pains on her left side of her body by her ribs. and cramps. Im not to sure if the pills would cause a miscarriage or if your supposed to start your period while not on the sugar pill. she has missed maybe one or two pills but when she remembers she takes them that day. she doesn't want to break it to her mom because her parents don't have insurance and every time she goes to the gyno cost 130+ and her mom gets pissed off about it.
