AboutDiana Archer Expertise I love questions on condoms, the pill, what to do if contraception fails, if you could be pregnant, obtaining contraception (Even without parental permission).
I have a lot of experience with teenagers. One thing I don't know too much about is the IUD, but I'm working on it.
I really do care about the people that ask me questions! I don't mind lots of follow up, and I like to know if things turned out okay. I'll be with you every step of the way!

Question him on thrill and have been for about a year and a half, this month i am half way through my pack but i have ben missing some of my pills by mistake whilst have sex with my boyfriend, unprotected, ive still got another week and a half to goon my pack but yesterday i showed a little blood, but it as a black kind of of colour, but now today i haven't got any blood at all,, lately i have been really tired easily & really worn out, and every now and again id go al dizzy and feel really weird, do you know what it could be?
Answer Hey Danielle,
The blood sounds like spotting ,it can happen when on the pill as the uterus lining isn't very strong.
Missing pills can greatly increase your chances of pregnancy, and your symptoms sound like common pregancy symptoms. Have you experienced any nausea? However, as you take the pill, you may not be pregnant, and your symptoms could be caused by something like iron deficiency, or B vitamin deficiency, because taking the pill can drain both from your body. I think that you should do a home pregnancy test (You can get these from your local supermarket) and also take iron and B vitamin suppliments.
