Question
Hi! i was on Ortho-Cept for 6 months and i didn't like the side affects so i stopped taking it and my last period was on April 29th and i still haven't gotten my period and I'm really nervous. my boyfriend and i were fooling around on may 11 and he was teasing me a little and I'm just freaking out! any advice would be great!

Answer
Hi Brittney,

More and more young women are doing their research about the side effects of the pill and other hormonal birth control methods. I am so thrilled that you are quitting. However, if you don't want to get pregnant, you must refrain from sexual intercourse. You probably aren't pregnant if you don't have sex all the way.  Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more about all this. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
