    Why am I having these symptoms on birth control?
    Hi I am 23 yrs old and have been on the same birth control since 16z I regularly get STD checked and have my yearly check up. I have changed sex partners and am having unprotected sex. I take my birth control every day but not at the same time during the day. I have missed taking it a couple times this month but have not had sex on those days.
    I had my period 2 weeks
    Ago and have been spotting a lot (using a tampon) since then. These
    Past 2 weeks I have had an extremely high sex drive bad sometimes
    My nipples get numb. What could it be?

    You're horny? It could be a hormone spike. Your body is still changing. It is hard to say what is causing this.

    Missing pills and having them at different times alters the hormone concentration in your blood stream. The way most hormonal pills work is to "Convince" your body that you're already pregnant so it doesn't release another egg. Don't waste resources if you don't have to. If the hormones are just right at the right time you could still ovulate. If you get laid at the right time you could still become pregnant.

    At this point I would wait until you get your next period. If it is late by two weeks then take a home pregnancy test with your early morning pee.
