Quote  |  Reply

Hi Everyone, I am posting this in this forum because it is a BC/Pregnancy Question. If anyone has had similar experiences, I would appreciate any feedback! Thx! Here is my situation in a nutshell:

Tried Yaz BC was First Monthly Pack

2-3 Weeks prior to that I was on Nuva Ring, then Nothing, then started Yaz when Dr. Recommended it (He did not have me wait until first or last day of period)

Did really well, but missed one pill towards the end of the pack (maybe the 20th pill or something)

Had Sex throughout Month including on the first day of Placebo Pill

Started Cycle on first day of Placebo Pill – lasted for 5-6 days and stopped completely

Two days after that I started spotting and it lasted for 2 days and stopped

Did not like the BC Pill so did not start another Pack – Just using Condoms (Was not using Condoms when I was taking the BC)

Today is day 28 after all of this and I'm not even cramping

 

My thought is that my cycle is just messed up because I had a period???

It's a possiblilty. Changing from one type of bc to another in a short period of time has been known to mess with the cycle. If you are VERY concerned, then wait a week for your cycle and then take a pregnancy test. If you used the condom the whole time/every time then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
