Question
hi

I am 19yrs old and have been on the pill since i was 12 years old i have irregular period but i have been on the birth control gynerna. My last period wa on May 12th and stopped on May 16th. I stop taking the pill after the 16th to see if my period would come by its self but it did not. I took the pill last Thursday because me and my boyfriend wanted 2 have sex. I recently look a ovulation calendar which said my period would come on the 23rd. Should i stop the pill and wait or continue take them HELP

Answer
Hi Catz,

Thanks for your question. I'm a little confused because you said that your period was on May 12-16 and it's only April now. Did you mean to say April? Also if you had your period, then why would you stop taking the pill on the 16th? So if you could explain to me more about your question, perhaps I can help.You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so we can talk by email.

Also, you can't just take one pill because you want to have sex. That's usually not the way the pill works. I can give you more info on that as well if you email me. Hope to hear from you soon.
