Posted: 06-29-08 10:55am

thank you for reading this - please help!

i started in feb. and i have ortho tri-cyclen lo. i hadnt missed a pill this entire time until june 18th. my bf and i had sex on the 19th and i missed another one on the 21st. then we had sex again on the 23rd. i have been having spotting a little bit since but yesterday it was kind of alot and im not suppose to get my period for about eight days. i also passed like a brown clot that was kind of squishy and other smaller ones since. there has been no red blood like a period, just cramps and brown drops. what could this be from?

Did you compensate the missed pills?
When did you start the present pack of pills?

If you've missed two pills within a week's time, you could get pregnant. My best advice is to wait two weeks since the last time you had sex and then take a pregnancy test.

The weird bleeding/spotting you are getting now could simply be because you missed pills.

According to the pill companies, if you miss two pills, you are no longer protected, even if you made up for them.

If you don't get your period during the next 7 days you should do a pregnancy test because you could be pregnant.
If you get your period in the next 7 days you are probably not pregnant.
