I’ve been on the pill since September and my periods have never aligned with the white pills or placebos (whatever they’re called). I’m 19 and have only been having sex for a couple of months.

This month, I’ve already had 2 periods and I have cramps and discharge/spotting that’s making me think I’m about to have a third period for this month and I KNOW that isn’t normal.

I have a doctor appointment scheduled for early January and will definitely tell my doctor what’s up, but should I refrain from sex until then??

My boyfriend and I were hoping to have really good Christmas sex when he comes visit me tomorrow since we haven’t seen each other in a couple of weeks.

Am I still protected??
