I was taking alesse for about 9 months (before that I was on depo) the last time i went to the health department they were out of alesse so they gave me the generic form, aviane.(sp?) the first month on the new pills I had a period, ( I never had one while on depo or alesse.) I stopped taking the pills because my boyfriend and I broke up and I really don't like the way birth control makes me feel. My last period started December 8, and I stopped taking the pills 9 days before I was suppose to be on the placebo pills. (december 28.) the next day I had pink discharge when I went to the bathroom. It only lasted one day. Why did this happen? I would understand if it was just an affect of stopping birth control, but there have been times when I've missed 2 or 3 pills at a time and never had any bleeding before now. So i should have started my period the week of january 9, but it never came. The last time my boyfriend and I had sex was on christmas day. could i be pregnant or what? is there any way to tell when i will ovulate if my periods have never been regular?
