Not uncommon: Should be protected from pregnancy but best to check home preg test on first morning urine at least 2 weeks after first sex. If neg, repeat in 7-10 days. If both neg, unlikely you are preg. Re periods can take up to 3 mo to get adjusted to bc pill, so try to stick it out. If still period probs after that see doc and discuss change pill. Best of luck. Remember safe sex, use condoms.
