Alright so here's my story
Me and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex for awhile..now and since i'm on birth control...we didn't think that it would be a big deal....
well about a month ago i ran out of my birth control pills and i had to wait almost half a month before i started them again...which would have been about one or two week(s) ago....well yesterday i went to the bathroom and noticed that there was blood...or some other kind of discharge...I was confused about it cause I knew that it couldn't have been my period...cause thats not till about the end of each month...so i started to freak out and i told my boyfriend about it and he says that it could have been because i had been off my birth control for a while...but then this morning it happened again but it was alittle more than last nite...and on top of that i've been havin' bad cramps all day....
???????

It could be your body reacting to the change in hormones if you have not been taking the pill because of running out. Hormones can also cause changes in your period.
However, if you were having unprotected sex during that time, you could also be pregnant. If you're not taking the pill, then you're not protected.

And for future FYI, if you run out of your prescription, you can call your pharmacist, who can talk to your doctor and do a courtesy refill until your next appt.

If you have trouble affording birth control then either:
1. Refrain from sex until you can get back on it and remember that you will need to use a backup method for at least a week while the hormones get back into your system if you're on the pill.
or
2. Go somewhere like Planned Parenthood or Family Planning.

[XbeautifuldisasterX] well its not that i couldn't go and do that it was just that we didn't have the money to actually get the pills... Then you need to go to a clinic and find a way to get the pills/other birth control, or you need to stop having sex. Part of sex is being mature and responsible - having sex when you can't afford contraception is neither of those. As Lorien said, you can try going to Planned Parenthood or another similar clinic and see if they can give you free birth control, or work out a payment plan with you.

If you MUST have sex while not on the pill, use a condom.
Your body probably just reacted to the absence of hormones and started another period. When I stopped mine for a month between different brands, I had two periods. I had my normal one which ended after four days. Two weeks later, my body went "WTF. Is it time already?" and gave me a light period. I think it was ready for a third when I finally got on the new brand. xd

thats what i was thinkin' that it was, plus i went to the doctor and had a test done and they said that it was probably just because of the pills..but the doctor said that my bleeding was just spotting because of it but i'm still doing it...and it hasn't stopped yet...it's driving my nuts..
and i wasn't having sex while i was off of my pills for about three weeks..when i had to stop taking them we weren't having sex maybe two weeks before i stopped...but i was confused because right after i started them again prolly about a week and half maybe two weeks...we started having sex again...i didn't know if that was to early or not....... question

If you just got on birth control again, but you're bleeding ahead of schedule, it's probably just that your cycle is not adjusted to the hormones yet.
By the way "I couldn't find another one" is NOT an excuse for having unprotected sex.
Go buy more. Exchange oral sex. Don't do anything.
Even the pull-out method can get you pregnant.

Thank you for the apology.
If you've been CONSISTANTLY on birth control for 6 months... with no breaks or skipped weeks, then random bleeding may be a concern.
If you're missing a few days here, a week there, etc... then you're going to cause your body to have erratic periods, and random spotting.
And not all antibiotics interfere with birth control's effectiveness. Generally, assuming you tell your doctor what birth control you're on, they'll either give you antibiotics that don't affect your birth control, or they'll let you know that it will.
And you are being immature, by all logic. The point of this guild is for education, and in saying you didn't use a condom because you didn't have one is immature, and irresponsible.
We don't tell you that as an insult, but as the truth, in hopes that you'll realize that reckless behavior can get you PREGNANT, which is obviously something you don't want to be right now.
Protecting yourself from pregnancy is EASY. You just have to be mature and do it.
Abortions and raising children is a hell of a lot harder. And if you get pregnant because you're being too irresponsible to have protected sex, then you'll have a hard time being a responsible parent, since it's a lot more self-sacrificing then not having sex one night because you don't have a condom.

She was a lot nicer about it than I would have been.
As Savina said, you say you're not being immature, but you are. Having sex without a condom and without stopping when you don't have one is stupid, immature and extremely irresponsible. Being a parent is something that will affect you for the rest of your life, and even if you don't carry through with an unplanned pregnancy, you'll be changed forever.
You apparently need to be told that you're being immature or at least making dumb choices because you don't quite seem to get it. Use a condom, or don't have sex. Sex isn't for children - it's for people who know what they're doing, who knows the risks and the consequences, and who are smart and responsible enough to abstain when they haven't taken the necessary precautions. Such as using a condom, even when you're on birth control.
And I don't say any of the above to be mean, like Savina - I say it because I think you need to hear it, so you can smarten up and see you're making the wrong choices, and that hopefully you will learn to make better choices before you get in over your head.
