Take a pregnancy test. Until pregnancy is
confirmed, take your birth control pills
the way you regularly would.
Good luck.

I agree. Take a pregnancy test. That is
the ONLY way to find out if you're
pregnant or not. If you have been exactly
regualr the whole 5 years, I would go take
the test. It's not too early.

Another Question Posted: 10-03-07 13:04pm
okay, since ive filled my mind with google
answers, is it true in order to get the
best home pregnancy test result you have
to use it in the morning when you first
wake up?

Yes. There is a higher concentration of
HCG in your first morning urine. Buy a
test tonight and take it in the morning.
Even a walmart brand test is fine.
Have you recently changed to the seasonale
pill? You may be experiencing one of the
wonderful side effects of birth control
pills - and that is lighter and less
periods.
Good luck!

What pill is it? Because I thought
Seasonale - the 4 period a year birth
control - was approved by the FDA 4 years
ago.
But it is advised on the seasonale website
that you need to test for pregnancy if you
miss a scheduled period or if you have
missed doses of pills.
Let us know.

no missed pills of any kind, after 5 years
its like clockwork when i take the pill
every night and when my period is supposed
to start. I have been taking
ortho-trycyclen 28 day cycle birth
control.

Oh, so sorry. I confused your post with
someone else's post.
After years of use, you can stop having
periods. Which would be cool because who
wants a period?

Test in the morning. Nothing will change
in the big scheme of the universe (or even
your life) if you wait until tomorrow
morning to test. I promise.
