Birth Control and Miscarriages

Take a test or get the morning after pill.

I REALLY think you are getting excellent advice here. People can tell you that you are too young for sex but the truth is, you're going to do what you want to do. My opinion also is that 14 is too young for sex, don't give in to peer pressure. Back at your age I'm sure girls bragged about losing their virginity but actually didn't. Sex should be shared between two people who are truely in love with each other and want to share in an intimate relationship. I just gave my 14 year old daughter advice yesterday. She is entering highschool! I told her"just know that boys talk, so make sure the first boy you kiss is someone you really want to, because most likely all his friends will know" Most importantly"make wise choices" At 40 I still tell myself that.
If you are considering becoming sexually active the advice of calling planned parenthood is excellent. It never hurts to just talk to someone with professional knowledge. I'm proud of you for coming here seeking advice. At your age I was uninformed which was very dangerous, I consider myself lucky!

She's way beyond the morning after, mg, more like a month after.

1.Missed periods and use of oral contraceptives before or during early pregancy

There may be times when you may not menstruate regularly after you have completed taking a cycle of pills. If you have taken your pills regularly and you miss one menstrual period, continue taking your pills for the next cycle but be sure to inform your health care provider before doing so. If you have not taken the pills daily as instructed and missed a menstrual period, you may be pregnant. If you missed two consecutive menstrual periods, you may be pregnant. Check with your health care provider immediately to determine whether you are pregnant. Do not continue to take oral contraceptives until you are sure you are not pregnant, but continue to use another method of contraception.

There is no conclusive evidence that oral contraceptive use is associated with an increase in birth defects, when taken inadvertently during early pregnancy. Previously, a few studies had reported that oral contraceptives might be associated with birthdefects, but these findings have not been seen in more recent studies. Nevertheless, oral contraceptives or any other drugs should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necesary and prescribed by your doctor.

I think I may have started the confusion re: taking birth control pills after becoming pregnant having a bad effect on the pregnancy, sorry. From my bc pill package insert:

That's for mine, yours might be different.

I'd suggest:

1.) Find your package insert + read it.
2.) Get a pregnancy test.
3.) Use other forms of contraception until you get your period (if you're not pregnant).
4.) Once you have your period, start a new packet of bc pills.
5.) Most importantly, and superceding 1-4, talk to a doctor about all of this.

Okay... um so this is saying that it will not cause people to have a miscarriage?

But if you take the bc pills if you are pregnant, will it have any health effect on the person taking the pills?

WHAT'S the whole reason you were getting BCPs?

To induce a miscarriage? Or, to have protection against pregnancy without any side effects?

Exitmusic--

Please will you take the pregnancy test.

If you are going to be sexually active--and if you're doing things that make your bf happy, you're going to be sexually active--you must use birth control.

"Saving yourself for marriage" means little when the hormones are hot and heavy.

Do you have an appointment with a doctor to talk about the pill? You can request that your mother not be in the room when you talk to the doctor.

First, get a Pregnancy Test Kit and use it.
