I'm 21 years old and I have been on birth control for about 6 months now. I waited one month until I started having sex with my boyfriend (to make sure it was fully kicked in) and everything has been going great.
About four weeks ago, I was on the "sugar pill week" of my birth control pack. I got my period that week, as I normally do, but because my periods are rather short, I was not bleeding the full week I was on the sugar pills.
On the last day of the sugar pill week (the night before I would start my new pack), my boyfriend and I had sex without a condom. While he did not ejaculate in me (he never does even when I'm on the pill) and the birth control is said to protect you during your sugar pill week, I am still very paranoid about pregnancy. The next day, I took my active birth control pill at the same time I normally do, yet I am still very worried.
Something to note - Ever since I've started this birth control, it causes me to throw up the first night of every new pack I start. I know I should switch, but the doctor said to give it 3 months for my body to get used to it, so I just keep holding off. The night we had sex on the last day of my sugar pill (as explained above), I did NOT vomit that next night I took the pill. This is what had me worried, but I'm sure it's just nothing.
I am, however, starting my next sugar pill week today. I usually get my period tonight or tomorrow, but it hasn't come yet. Nor have I felt any period cramps and whatnot. This also worries me
So yeah, any comfort or advice would be appreciated. I'm pretty sure that I'm protected on the sugar pill week and even then, I took my active pill the next day like I was supposed to. So I should be okay?
Thanks!
