Hi all, I've recently traveled back to my home country due to the coronavirus epidemic. During my travels, I left my birth control pills in my checked-in luggage. Also, when I got home, I had my luggage open and the pills were in a compartment facing a window. The temperature was pretty high outside...

I'm just a bit confused. So you said taking the pill late shouldn't affect my withdrawal bleed drastically but also you're not sure if it would affect it?

Hi Sam,

I just took the last pill. I usually get my withdrawal bleed on the 4th placebo pill day. Does this mean that I should get my withdrawal bleed 4 days from today or on the 4th day as originally scheduled? Am I also correct to assume I start my new pack at the same time?

Hi Sam,

Thanks for the advice. Will taking the pill mess up when my withdrawal bleed will arrive? I haven't had sex this past month so pregnancy is not a concern for me.

Hi, I've missed my last active pill in my pack of 21 yesterday (as in I was supposed to have taken it yesterday but did not) and am on my first day of the placebo pill-free week. Should I take this last pill today or should I just count yesterday as day 1 of my placebo pill-free week (and today as d...

Hi, I've been on the birth control pill since December last year and have been fairly consistent. I am currently at my grandma's house and will be staying here for the next 5 nights. Unfortunately I forgot my birth control pills meaning that I won't be able to take the pill for at least 5 days. Fort...

Thank you for your quick response! I would also like to know if it's safe for me to have sex with a condom now that its been 2 weeks since Ive started the pill. Also I'm aware of the chance of pregnancy being extremely low with the pill but I would like to know if this chance is inclusive of the guy...

Hi, I've recently gone on the combination pill (Microgynon). I'm on my second week. Since starting the pill, I've noticed that I am hungry more often and that I have to pee a lot more. I am also fatigued and I have mild stomach cramps. Is this normal or should I bring this up with my doctor?

Thank you!

Hi! Despite the pregnancy test, I still haven’t gotten my period yet. Should this be a cause of concern? I am aware that the pill may mess me up but I didn’t know it would be this severe. I think I just ovulated last week though so I think it would be safe to assume the bleeding I got was my “period...

Just took a pregnancy test and it was negative! Phew what a relief. Thank you all

Hey there! Thanks for the prompt reply. My friend, who has had a similar experience, has just told me to taken a pregnancy test because I am a day late. Is this necessary even though I’ve bled? I feel as though that was my period as I am having ovulatory mucus (egg white stretchy mucus). Thanks! I a...

Hi, about 3 weeks ago (my normal cycle is 34 days long and this happened 5 days after my period ended) the condom slipped while I was having sex and half of it was stuck inside me while he pulled out. Since I was on top the cum spilled out onto him instead of me but to be safe I took the morning aft...
