Hi
I am not exactly new to the world of BCP but I had recently been having issues going back onto the pill after being off for a while. Previously I had been on Yaz for about two years but I made the switch to Tri-Cycline Lo for about 3 months back in the summer of 2008. I had to go off of it in September 2008 because the new pill gave me severe migrains. Recently, I went back to my original pill, Yaz, because I am sexually active with my new boyfriend. I calculated that I was going to get my period on Sunday March 22, 2009 and I was like, perfect, I'll have a Sunday start and it will coincide with the first day of my period so I would keep the same cycle.
Long story short I never ended up getting my period so I guess I took the pill too early. A few days later I got all the normal symptoms of my period (cramps, bloating, fatigue, increased hunger and emotions) but no bleeding.
I took a pregnancy test on March 25th, it was negative. I called my gyno and asked whether or not I should throw away the pack and start the new pack but they said it would not be neccessary but I would have a different menstral cycle. It was recommended that I test for pregnancy just to be on the safe side so I took another pregnancy test on Thursday April 2nd and again it was negative.
Since I am now sure that I am not pregnant I would like to know how much longer I should wait before being safely protected against pregnancy. Both my boyfriend and I are clear of all STDs and I would like to be able to not use condoms when we have intercourse but I do not want to risk getting pregnant.
Also, I have not really had any negative reactions to this pill, my skin actually cleared up a bit and I don't have any mood swings or emotional issues but I do notice a definite loss of sexual desire. I have always been very attracted to my boyfriend and have never had an issue with loss of libido but lately I just feel like I want to cuddle more than have sex. How long do you think this will last
Any and all feedback is much appreciated. Thanks! :-)
