I am pregnant. Is it necessary for me to see all of the physicians during my pregnancy?

I just starting taking birth control pills and I’m bleeding before its time for my period. Why is this happening?
It can take up to three menstrual cycles of new oral contraceptives for your cycles to regulate. It is important that you continue taking the pills and use a back-up method of birth control while you are bleeding. Keep track of where in the pill package you are bleeding so that if the problem continues, your physician knows how to adjust your medication for you.

Is it normal to have break through bleeding when you first start on hormone replacement therapy?
Yes, break through bleeding can occur anywhere from 3 to 6 months after initiating treatment with hormone replacement therapy. It takes time for your body to adjust to the level of hormones in the pills. If you experience heavy menstrual period-like bleeding you should notify your physician. Always call with any questions or concerns regarding your health.

What should I do if I am taking birth control pills and I don’t get my period?
If you have not missed taking any birth control pills, take a home pregnancy test. If the test is negative, resume taking your birth control pills with the next package. If you do not have a period the next month, consult your physician for a possible change in prescription.
