Can You Take Birth Control Pills Even If You Have Not Got Your Periods ?
I took a morning after pill on Sunday because my boyfriend and I did not use a condom. I have been on the pill but have recently switched pills so I did not want the chance of getting pregnant . I was supposed to get my period this week but it has not come yet and I know the morning after pill might screw up my cycle. I m wondering do I start my new pack of pills next week even if my period doesn t come? or should I wait until I get a period to start my next pack and use another form of contraception until then?

Hi,
Your cycle is messed up due to the pill.If you didnt give any gap between the change in pills then there was no reason to take the morning after pill.However,now i suggest you wait till you get your periods and then start a new pack as a new cycle.Till then use barrier contraception.
