Do use backup contraception till you start your second pack of pills.  AND remember birth control pills do NOT protect against sexually transmitted diseases or HIV/AIDS.  Please be safe!

if all these things happens to you after you started the pill then yes probably with in a month maybe even a few weeks you'd most likely go back to feeling the way you did before.  you could also try talking to you doctor and try a different pill.  so many doctors do not pay attention to those "minor" side effects cause they don't have to live with them.  they are not minor to the people that have to live with them.  and one thing they often don't bother to tell girls is that some pills just screw certain people up.  it can take several pills to find one that works right with your body.  you could go through 2 or 3 or even more to find the right one... although it can be really worth it when you do. good luck i hope you find something that works out so you feel better.

Any type of pills that alter your reproductive hormones can mess your periods up. Like me, I'm on Yasmin and my period started a week early and I'm on my 8th day... not common for me at all! Did you do your week of inactive pills? Give them 3 months and if you're still messed up, I'd talk to your gyn about switching to another kind.

Since you have recently started your menstrual cycle, your hormones and everything may not be in balance. I would go to see a gynecologist and see what he/she recommends for you.  It is typical for them to prescribe oral contraceptives to help control and regulate your menstrual cycle.\n\nBy recent....I mean, that you haven't had one for 5 or more years.

I was on lexapro and the pill at the same time w/ no problems. But definatly check with your doctor, interations may be different for different birth control pills. Best to double check with your doctor and be completely sure.

If you are on Yaz, you should be having shorter periods rather than longer.  It may be that your next cycle will be easier if you have just started taking it, but if not I'd suggest going back to your doctor and asking about a different pill.

I really think you are freaking yourself out and need to calm down.  If you are on a bc pill, they are not always perfect.  Sometimes you cycle can get a little off even when you are on the pill.  If you also wore a condom, then I'm sure you are safe.  The discharge is probably nothing to worry about either, many if not most women have some type of discharge, and your case it could be just because your cycle was a little off.  Quit panicking and calm down.  If the discharge gets worse or if it starts to develop a bad smell, then perhaps you have a yeast infection.  If you really are as worried as you seem to be, call your gyno and talk to his/her nurse, I'm sure she will confirm what I told you.

Yes and spotting .. give it a few months and you will go back to normal... if not you may need to have your pill adjusted.

There are several side effects to all oral contraceptives, but it is unlikely one person would experience all of them.  It is nice to know what they are, though, in order to compare anything you might be feeling after starting the pill with the list.  Here is a general list for you:\n1)irregular vaginal bleeding (usually spotting in between periods)\n2)fluid retention\n3)melasma (spotty darkening of the skin, usually the face)\n4)change in appetite\n5)headache, nervousness, depression\n6)dizziness\n7)cramping\n\nIf any of these symptoms occur and do not go away or if you're concerned about anything at all, please call your doctor or pharmacist.\nHope this helps!

If you are still bleeding(not breakthrough bleeding) and your on the birth control. Call your dr or ob/gyn right away that is not right. \n\nDo you mean yasmin 28 birth control? Its better if you take it the same time of day i've taken it our the next day because I forgot. \n\nNausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement may occur. Acne may improve or get worse. Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first few months of use. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. If you miss 2 periods in a row (or 1 period if the pill has not been used properly), contact your doctor for a pregnancy test.

It could very well just be that you missed taking your pill and it messed with the hormones telling your body to start. You could very well be pregnant who knows until you see your doc. Good luck

It takes time to adjust to a new type of hormonal birth control.  Give it a few months before you start to panic.  Your period probably will not last 12 days, it just came early because you're changing hormone volumes.\n\nStick to the switch and become better about remembering to take your pill at the same time every day.  Your period should even out in a few months.

Your doctor should have told you that... but some birth control pills take up to a month to fully work! Talk to your doctor or a pharmacist!

Are you sure you could be pregnant?  I have felt the same way you have before when i was taking the pill and it was due to the pill being too strong for me.  The Patch might be to strong of a dose for you. \nI have also been on the Patch, but i had to stop after a few months of using it, due to me being allergic to it, i was breaking out in a red rash only where i put the Patch.  The doctor told me that i might be allergic to the adhesive in the Patch.  I loved it while it lasted, it was so convenient.  \nYou might also want to do some other research into the Patch, I believe some women have been getting very ill with the Patch.  Ask your Doctor

here's the deal with the pill. you technically have about a three day window to take it before the hormones leave your system, but this is a VERY wide window. you should be taking it within the same hour every day, but if it like you say was only a three hour window, you will be fine. if you are still worried, use a condom and go back to taking your pill AT THE ORIGINAL TIME you were taking it before the slip up:) and call your gyno or local planned parenthood if you need to ask stuff like this, they're awesome at answering every kind of question;)

Check the instructions and side effects for missing pills in your birth control packet. You should also consult your doctor, or if he is unavailable by night, go to the nearest drug store and ask a pharpacist. Bleeding is sometimes normal but if you are insecure about it, visit your doctor first thing in the morning. For online info, do some google searches. But visit your doctor. After getting things back to normal, never ever forget to take your pill at the scheduled time. If possible set an alarm clock in your watch or cel phone at an hour that is best for you to take the pill. The best way these pills work is by following a strict discipline. \nHope everything turns out well

Missing the pill will make your cycle start.  Just to be safe, I think I would contact my physician since it has lasted for so long.  Hope you get to feeling better.
