Should I Be Worried For Pregnancy While Being On BC Pills?
I am 31 year old mother of two. I have been on a combination birth control pill for exactly one month. I took my pill every night. I am on my second day of "inactive" pills and I have not started my period. I had sex with a condom once. Another time my partner just barely penetrated and I made him stop in fear of pregnancy. Should I be worried?

Hallow Dear,
If you are so regular with your birth control pills, the chances of pregnancy are very rare. Moreover you had only one intercourse, that too with condom on.
If you do not start your menses while on inactive pills (2nd pill), you may continue with the next pack as per the instructions - this is what WHO recommends. You may get the menses by the time all inactive pills are consumed. Some times it is noted that women may not get menses after inactive pill. To sustain the effect of birth control pills, it is advised that you start with the next pack if you are very regular with the previous pack. Even after the second pack inactive pills also if you do not get periods, then you may have to report to the Gynaecologist for further investigations of pregnancy or nay other cause.
I hope this helps you.
