PREGNANCY UNLIKELY: Your period ha likely come by now. Particularly, if your withdrawals have become lighter, you may be a candidate for a different "pill." This is a good time to have an exam by the prescriber of your pill if you have light or no withdrawals; otherwise, the discussion can be held at the time of your next annual exam.
