Stupid Question?
| Thu, 11-04-2004 - 10:04pm |
I'm taking Ortho-Lo and this is my first time ever on bc. While taking the dark blue pills, I started spotting and it got progressively worse. The last couple days of the dark blue pills, I was bleeding the amount I normally do on a regular period. I now have just 2 placebo pills to take before I start a new pack. I bled the week before I started the placebos and for 2 days while actually taking the placebos, now I have nothing. Last night and today there was literally just a few drops. I've had sex twice since I've been on the pills. Once on the 14th day and then again on Halloween :D. My question is, could I have gotten pregnant or do I just have no more blood left to lose since I lost so much with the spotting and the 2 days I actually bled on the placebo pills? All so confusing lol.

As long as you`ve taken your pills on time every day (within +/- 2 hours of your taking time), haven`t had any vomiting or diarrhea within 2 hours after taking your pill, and haven`t been on any medications that might change the effectiveness of your birth control, like antibiotics or St. John`s Wort, you should be well protected against pregnancy.
I hope this helps! Feel free to stop by anytime you have a question. There are a ton of really knowledgeable women around that can definitely lend a helping hand. :)
