			<title>Had protected sex day after period and on birth control but late period?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
I had sex with my boyfriend a day after my last period, I have been on the mini-pill for about 3-4 months now. We used a condom and he pulled out with the condom. My period usually comes after 24 days, but it has been 28 now. I have also been stressed with family issues going on and I know stress can play a major role in delaying periods. I also know anytime you have sex you risk being pregnant.
But my question is, is it likely I am pregnant? Or should I stop worrying?

I started my period may 12, and took my last trinessa birth control pill may 13, because i want to become pregnant eventually. My obgyn told me i should take my last pill of my 28 pack, and then i could try to become pregnant. I began the pill March(2012) because of abnormal bleeding after my last child(2011). With my last checkup my obgyn said my uterus and everything was back to normal, and i can have the possibility of having another child. My main question is about how long will this period...

I started using the patch about 2 days after my period. It&#039;s been 7 days as of today so I have to change it for the first time later tonight. Is it okay to have sex today without a condom? I heard it takes a week to get in your system so I&#039;m hoping its fine.

			<title>I skipped my cycle for the past three months on birth control, is it normal?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
I started on the birth control shot because I heard it lightened your menstrual cycle. Well ive been on if for a little less than three months and I&#039;m due for another shot. I&#039;m worried because I haven&#039;t had my cycle since before I took the shot, and before I had gotten it, I had never skipped. Should I be worried that something might be wrong?
