Getting Off Bc
Posted: 08-06-07 17:11pm

i know people who have gotten pregnant by missing taking a pill. i was on the patch and have been off of it for a month. are the chances of getting pregnant high in the first month of not taking it no more

yes anytime you get off you could get pregnant
no matter how long you are on BC before stopping

you arent protected any more so of course you can get preg

yes thats just a rumor
you could consult a doctor to make sure and double check if youd like too
but if you are off BC then you can get pregnant anytime now since you are unprotected

however some women (not all of them) have a hard time getting preg after BC but that still doesnt meen your safe from getting preg
it could happen anytime

well here is my dillema i quit taking birth control (the patch) about a month ago or so. i overdosed on asperin and some anti depressents around july 12th. i got my period around the 17th and it was very thin and liquidy. I figured it was like that because of me being stupid and taking asperin. i had unprotected sex on around the 22nd and the 27th. he went in me both times. what do you think the chances of me being pregnant are? im due for my period the middle of next week should i start to take a test now

well yep you could def be pregnant
a light period could have been implantation bleeding depending on when you ovulated
so id say to test in 2 weeks
but remember that hpt testes are not always acurate
you could probably take a bloodtest in a week if you want
they are almost 100% acurate
