Question on BC...

Hello :)

I am Veronica, 28, in Michigan, visiting from the 20-something board. I have a question about BC...

I (get to ) see the doctor on Monday. Last week I finished my most recent pack of pills, and was told that the doc needed to see me before continuing the script (I am due for a pap, yay...). However, I usually start a new pack on Friday night, so theorhetically I should be starting a new pack tomorrow - but it looks like th eearliest I will be starting my new pack is Monday night.

I am not planning on having sex this weekend as I know that will likely cause a misread on my pap. However, if I do start a new pack on monday and have sex the following week (as in, a few days later), what is my risk of becoming pregnant?

Should I call the doc office & explain how I keep my pill schedule & see if they will call the pharmacy & extend the script? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Veronica

couldn't hurt...I mean being off the pill (even for a few days) could screw up your cycle and depending on when you start the pill again you'll probably need to use a back up as protection and all....
