Question
Hi.
so i went off my birth control, because i couldnt afford it through my doctor. i havent gotten my period this month. Is that normal? or should i be worried that im pregnant?

im really stressed out about this.


Answer
Hi Kaila,

Yes, if you had sex during this month and didn't have birth control, there is a chance of pregnancy. Also, you could just not have a period because of not having the hormones in your body this month.
What do you plan on doing for the future? I don't recommend any kind of hormonal birth control because of side effects and risks. Do you ever experience any of these side effects? If you want to get a free pregnancy test, you can find a resource center in your area. Go to this website http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Another website is http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp

Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
