Hello doctor,
This is pertaining to my period and my birth control. I had my daughter a little over two months ago and started my birth control last month (I was still having on and off bleeding but it stopped about a week or so after taking my birth control). I started my period on the 3rd of this month and it stopped completely yesterday until I had sex last night. When I went to the bathroom after the fact I was bleeding as if I were on my period and my vagina hurt and burned a little (not when I urinate, just in general). Is this normal? Am I still on period? Next is my birth control. As I stated in the first question I started my birth control last month. Well, I still have one more pill to take out of it and I had unprotected sex last night. I take it at 7 PM every day. Never missed one but we are late taking a couple especially yesterday. I was late by an hour taking the pill. Am I able to get pregnant immediately due to the fact it is still my first month on it and I only have one pill out of the pack?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
What I could gather from the information you gave was that you are on birth control since last month. What I would want to know is what was the mode of your delivery, vaginal or operative? It has a bearing on the answer. Also what kind of pills are you on? Are they continuous pills without a break or like three weeks on one week off pills. Were you still taking pills when you had your periods on the 3rd? If it was a vaginal delivery, sudden bleeding could be due to vaginal laceration. If the bleeding was while on pills, it could be a breakthrough bleeding. If only one pill is left and you have been taking it for more than two weeks regularly, pregnancy seems unlikely. Being late for pill by one hour does not decrease its efficacy. If you are breastfeeding your child, chances of pregnancy are even lesser. I would suggest you to see your doctor and understand clearly how and when to take pills to avoid such problems in the future.
I hope this helps.
