Once you get your shot, your period stops and that is why you stopped bleeding after you got your shot. Dear Katherine,

I believe you did have your period. Once you get your shot, your period stops and that is why you stopped bleeding after you got your shot.

At the moment, there are no studies that have proven that long-term use of oral contraceptives will cause infertility. I would advise you to make an appointment with your doctor to find out what you can do to encourage conception. Dear Brittany,

For about the first two years my periods were normal about every 4-5 weeks apart. Since we have starting trying to have a family it has gone to every 5-6 months. I have taken many tests and all negative, I have even went to a doctor and the blood test was negative. Could being on birth control caused me to be infertile?

Just a couple of preliminary questions to get a better understanding of the situation. Which birth control pill was your girlfriend on? If it is a low dose birth control there is still a small chance that your girlfriend may get pregnant, even if she takes it every day and at the same time every day, there is still 1 or 2% chance she may get pregnant because birth control pills are not 100% effective. Similar to condoms which are only 80% effective if used properly. Both in combination, there is still that small percentage of chance she may get pregnant. Usually, when a girl goes in to get the birth control shot, the doctor would take a pregnancy test first to make sure she is not pregnant. I am guessing that your girlfriend has not gone in for the shot yet and instead went and got a home pregnancy test first because she never got her period after stopping the pill. Home pregnancy tests may not always be accurate 100% of the time. It is always recommended to take more than one pregnancy test, at home and or by your doctor to confirm the results. Many home pregnancy test manufacturers also recommend waiting a few days before retaking the test again. If both results come back positive, your girlfriend would need to see the doctor because she most likely is pregnant.Hope this helps.

My question is could stopping the pill essentially possibly cause a positive test. Weve always had protected sex, her on the pill and me using a condom. The only reason she stopped the pill was because after he period which shoulda happened Dec.12th she was switching to the shot form of b.c. The whole time she was off birth control we didnt have sex but she never got her period after stopping the pill. She took a test today (dec 21st) and it came back positive. How is this possible if at all? Shes has a doctors appt. scheduled but it could be a couple days.Any help is welcomed. Thanks My girlfriend recently took a home pregnancy test and it was positive.
