Sometimes, the cramps could be from something else. Check with your doctor to see if it can be anything else or if it is the pill causing it. Make sure you mention about you and your family medical history, any current medication you are taking, etc. Dear madd,

Your body is trying to get used to the pill and missing your period on the first month of being on the pill is very common. You should keep your doctor informed about when you miss your period. Definitely let your doctor know if you miss your period again. Dear Anonymous,It is normal for you to miss you period on the first month of taking the pill.

If you stay on the pill, there is a chance your period would go away. If you get off it, you period will come for sure. Are you on any antibiotics? If you are, that may be a factor of why you are experiencing breakthrough bleeding. Dear Anonymous,Stay on the pill. If you stay on the pill, there is a chance your period would go away.

Its one week before I go away can I stop pill now and maybe I will be done bleeding by then. Not worried about getting pregnant, only started the pill because I thought I could stop my period from coming for my vacation.

I still want to have sex with my boyfriend though. Would it still be safe to have sex without a condom while being on the last week, or should we start using a condom? I ask because I've heard that sperm can last up to 5 days in your vagina. And if that's true, I don't want to get pregnant.

But, because it is the first time you are using birth control, you are most likely going to miss a pill so back up contraception such as condoms is highly recommended to prevent pregnancy. If you start your birth control any other day, you should wait until your period to start having sex. Again, always use a nonhormonal backup contraceptive like a condom for extra protection. Birth Control pills do not protect you against HIV/AIDS or sexually transmitted diseases.
