on birthcontrol BUT (Cont.)

[Wallswoman]

I've missed alot of pills before...and everytime ive missed two ive bled within 36 hours...last time i missed was like 2weeks ago...
And im not bleeding or anything....after 5 days....

yeah when i was taking birth control my doctor asked me about that and i said no real fast. a womans supposed to have a monthly period i dont think its good for your body to make it so you only have 4!

Oh, you're on seasonique.  I think you should go with a more conventional type of birth control pill.  Having only 4 periods a year seems unnatural to me.  You are supposed to get a period, it is how your body naturally cleans itself out.

do you mean you stopped taking them becase you like missed them and then just stopped

or do you mean you finished your pack?

because if you mean the latter then yes i would have taken what you said in the wrong way. mostly beacuse there have been A LOT of girls on here and other forums who just mess with their pills to get their period early so they dont have it on vactation or keep forgetting pills and dont take the ones they are supposed to

your other post "I've been on the birthcontrol seasonique but I stopped taking my pills to have my period...its been 5 days....and nothin yet..no bleeding or cramping or anything...what do i do "

my question was why do you want to make yourself get your period when your on a birth control where you only get 4 periods a year?

messing with a pill like that is really bound to mess up your period since it makes it so you hardly get a period

dont take your new pack till you get your period then it will REALLY screw up your periods

[mami1323]

The bleeding is break through bleeding or spotting.  When you mess up the pills you often spot but it's not the same as getting a true period.  I think your best bet is to contact your doctor.  I would also recommend getting the depo shot since you aren't good at keeping up with taking the pill.  You're risking pregnancy because you are inconsistent and that will decrease the effectiveness of the pill.  Just food for thought.

your confused....
I ambad about missing pills...ive missed the last time was about two weeks ago...BUT i bled....now that im going to my new pack...im supposed to have my period....but i havnet yet

[Kim1989]

right but you said you stopped taking to get your period or something and here you were talking about how youve missed about maybe 2 in the past. theres a difference bettween stopping them and missing a few when your supposed to take the ones you missed

may i asked why you wanted your period anyways your on the pill that you only get like 4 periods right?

[Wallswoman]

for the past 2 years ive been on bc its been the same

[Kim1989]

your not always going to have the same thing happen to you as before. missing a period, heavy bleeding and a lot of it, spotting....all of these things can happen!
