Question 2

can i get  pregnant if i've missed a few contraceptive pills? now i'm bleeding and have really bad cramps. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Missing even 2 pills can lead to a pregnancy.  Generally if you miss pills bleeding will start as it has for you.  This can be associated with cramps. Use a back up method like condoms for at least two weeks and start your next pack soon.  Verify you are not pregnant with a pregnancy test now and repeat in 2 weeks.

Accepted Answer

Unclear: Need to call prescriber, mood side effects are common with hormone rx . There are many alternatives and likely will be able to identify a tolerable one wit you prescriber.

Accepted Answer

Birth Control: Taking contraceptives after sex is not likely to work to prevent pregnancy. Contraceptives are most effectively if taken as prescribed before the sexual encounter occurs.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The effectiveness of this medication is best when given on the early end of the time suggested but can also be effective beyond 72 hrs. Even if given at 24 hrs there is a risk of failure. Only the passage of time will allow the outcome to be evident. There may not have been a fertile egg in position to result in conception to begin with.

IUD or shots: There are IUD's (intrauterine devices) or hormonal shots that can be used.  Both will need a doctors visit but those are some options besides the ones you listed.  The best option is abstinence.
