I'm taking 100 mg of Prometrium. Does it act like a birth control? I took it for ten days, took a break, and didn't get my period, so I started taking it again. The doctor said I had eggs during an ultrasound and I'm trying to conceive without IVF. Should I continue taking Prometrium without stopping, and should I switch back to an over-the-counter cream or stay on the 100 mg pill?

I have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend for about 6 months and have never gotten pregnant. I am not ready for a child, but it’s worrisome that it never happened.

My period is suddenly irregular, and I've been on combination birth control (Sprintec) for a year now. My last period started July 17 and ended August 13, and it was on and off. My period just started again today, 17 days after my last one. I haven't experienced any recent changes in stress or weight. What could be causing this irregularity, and what should I do?
