What if I miss a week straight of birth control pills?
Absolutely not. Taking 7 pills at once would likely cause you to vomit for a day straight and would not work in terms of contraception. You may or may not get bleeding at an unexpected time. If you miss more than two days, reliable contraception cannot be guaranteed and you need to restart a new package of pills and use a backup method (consistent condom use) for at least two weeks not withdrawal (pull-out), which is unreliable. If this happens frequently you should speak to your doctor about an IUD, which requires no remembering and is much more effective. Good luck. Peter G. McGovern, M.D. READ MORE
Why am I bleeding after my pap?
It is not unusual, and nothing to worry about. The PAP test involves using a small brush to swab the cervix. It works by removing some loose cells which can then be examined for abnormalities such as pre-cancerous changes or even the presence of the human papilloma virus (HPV). Although the brush is plastic, in some women even that minor trauma can cause bleeding. Some women also bleed after intercourse due to contact with the penis or sex toys with the cervix. If this happens frequently, a good speculum exam and recent PAP test is a good idea just to make sure the cervix is normal. Once you get the all clear from your doctor, even bleeding after intercourse is not a problem (even if annoying). Best wishes, Peter G.
