Re: BC pill qu.

I let you know in a couple of days.. I accidentally skipped pills for 2 days in a row so I took 2 tonight and will take 2 tomorrow to make up for it.. I will probably spot in a few days

No it just changed when I got my period- later in the week than usual.

ahhhh!!! id get HORRIBLY nauseous!!!! ive missed one day bc of forgetfulness and had to double up and i was about to hurl everywhere.

this was just me taking my pill like 3 hrs too late one night and then the next two days ive had break through bleeding. ive taken it a little late before with no problems so not sure whats going on.

Re: BC pill qu.

yes, though it really only happens when I'm within a few days of having my period anyway (like 4 days out).

Re: BC pill qu.

I just started taking bc after being off it for a while, and after 10 days of being on it I had breakthrough bleeding. I called my gyno and she said it was completely fine. I also forgot to take my pill one day, so I took 2 the next day, and that's when the bleeding started, so similar to you, I think everything is fine. Call your gyno if you have questions. Try setting an alarm clock on your cell phone so it will remind you.

Re: BC pill qu.

i even have a pill case with an alarm built in and since it was upstairs i just didn't take it until later that night. i just didnt think a few hours would really make that much of a diff, that id have break through bleeding.

it wasn't like i skipped a day!! i was only 3 hours late in taking it. im keeping DH away bc im worried since im on low dose, that id be more susceptible to getting preggo or something.

thx for the info guys.

Re: BC pill qu.

Not usually. That only happens when I skip it for a few days for some reason.

Re: BC pill qu.

i've never had that - but i always used to get cramps if i didn't take it on time... i was on yasmin for 10 years.

it could be your body's way of letting you know that you forgot to take it. your body will always give you some kind of 'sign' that it was supposed to have taken or done something...
