I apologize in advance for the long post, and please, no judgements or scolding. I was stupid (I know), and I thought I fixed it as best I could, but I'm still nervous.
So I've been on birth control for years. This month, I was due to start the placebo weeks the same time I was going to do a cross country move, so I stupidly decided to skip my last two active pills, and took the placebo instead for those two days. I planned to start my next pack two days early as well.
Well during those two placebo days, I had sex with my boyfriend without a condom (also stupid, I'm aware...I just completely forgot about the whole pill thing).
Immediately after sex, I realized my mistake, so we drove to the pharmacy and got the morning after pill, which I took within 2 hours of having had sex.
So I thought I was all good.
I went through the rest of the placebo pills, and started my next pack.
I'm in the second week of the next pack of active pills, and I've been getting period bleeding for the past 3 days. It's heavy, like a normal period. It stopped yesterday, then started again today.
Is it normal for the morning after pill to throw off your cycle, even if you're on BC? I'm just panicking because a friend of mine thought implementation bleeding was her period, so I'm kind of freaked out.
