Not Bleeding during Sugar Pills - Could I be pregnant? Posted: 11-04-07 13:57pm
What if you do not bleed while taking your
sugar pills? I have taken all 7 and still
no period. I most of the time take the
pills right but normally i forget and skip
them. Could I be pregnant?

There is a small chance that you could be.
You could take a hpt in a few days and
get an accurate result. Any time you miss
a birth control pill and don't take two
the very next day, you should use
protection until you finish the pack and
have your period because it increases the
chance that an egg will be released from
your ovary.
Good luck hun. No matter what, it'll be
okay.

Should the sugar pills automatically make
your body have your period or does it just
depend

Normally they allow you to automatically
have a "period", but you could have any
number of other complications that might
make you not have a period during your
sugar pill week. Unfortunately, I don't
know much about them myself. Can you call
your doctor or a planned parenthood and
ask? I'm sure they wouldn't mind telling
you reasons why this may happen.
If this is only your first month on the
pills than I think it's fine for things to
be a little off, however, if this was only
your first month than you should have been
advised to use back up birth control until
you finish up the first pack.

i have been on the pills for 2 years. I
guess i could go ahead and take a hpt and
see what happens for sure. It may just be
my nerves. thanks for the comments!

DURING your placebo week, if you were
pregannt and missed a period, your
pregnancy test WOULD BE ACCURATE.
If you only miss one pill, you do not need
protection for the entire pack.
If you only miss one pill, you need to
take it as soon as you remember, even if
that means two pills in one day.
No protection is needed unless you miss 2
pills

Especially if you've been skipping the
placebo week in past months, it's not
surprising that you don't have a period
this time.
