is it okay if im having no symptoms of period but im late , i have birthcontrol but dont take it and i end up taking it. Is that a problem to take it now?

Sorry what do you mean by you don’t take it and then end up taking it?

@bluerose9 i have my birth control ( placebo) but never took it bc i was too scared but now im convinced i should and i did last night

have you been taking your active pills?

@onthepillxo no like none i have my pills but i do not take them but my mom thinks i do but i dont but i just took it last night because i made the decision to start

You don’t need to take the placebo pills. They’re literally just sugar and just there to help remind you to start your new pack on time.

@bluerose9 oh okayyy! thank you

so you haven’t been taking any of your pills? or you just haven’t been taking your sugar pills

@onthepillxo havent been taking them at all and i have no symptoms of my period but my app says im late by 4 days. and i made a decision to take it

you haven’t been taking all your active pills? are you sexually active

^ have you been having protected sex?

@onthepillxo yes i am but he pulls out before anything

if you’re using the pull out method alone that’s not protection, you are having unprotected sex

@onthepillxo yes

so there’s a chance you could be pregnant

@onthepillxo well i took my birth control pill is that a problem? should i stop?

when did you start taking it?

@onthepillxo yesterday

please research into how your birth control works, taking it on and off like this increases your risk of blood clots and you can get pregnant this way. use another method of protection like condoms etc or take your pills correctly or you’ll get pregnant if you don’t want to be,

@onthepillxo okay thank you

Also, before you keep taking your pills, make sure to take a test if you don’t get your period, taking birthcontrol pills while pregnant isn’t advised

The pull out method is not an effective method of contraception, if you have not been using any other method of contraception correctly then you’re best to treat any sex you had as unprotected sex, and take a pregnancy test. Tests are most accurate 3 weeks after unprotected sex.
