So I am a 23 year old female. I was on ortho tri cyclen for 5 years, was switched to Yaz for a few months and then recently put on Junel Fe. I have been on Junel Fe for three months. I have not missed a single pill in 6 years. This month on my inactive pills I didnt get my period, I just had some old blood/brown discharge for a few days and the usual amount of cramping. I have unprotected sex with my b/f, but have never not had a full period. Could I be pregnant? Thanks for your time, I am just very nervous about this all.
Hi, If you are taking these birth control pills as prescribed they are more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.  Were you on any antibiotics? Some antibiotics can reduce the effect of contraceptive pill. There is a very small chance of method failure even when you take the pills correctly. Occasionally the period after pills can be just spotting. But since you have unprotected sex with your boyfriend I advise you to get a pregnancy test done. That will clarify the matter for you. I advise you to use barrier contraceptive like condoms to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases. I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
