Lost Birth Control Pill: skip sugar pills? how long to test?
Posted: 11-12-07 12:10pm

this might sound really dumb, but i need a little insight here.

i was out on friday night with the guy i'm seeing and we had sex. i am not sure if i took 2 pills at once on friday because saturday night i went to take my pill at my usual time and it was gone.

i've also been told that it's ok to skip your sugar pills and start a new pack to bypass your period for another month. i'm going to be on vacation next week and didn't want to get it so last night i started a new pack.

my doctor put me on the pill about 10 years ago due to my (very) irregular mentrual cycle.

i guess my question here is... is there a REAL possibility that I could be pregnant. how long do i really need to wait before i take a test?

i appreciate any feedback that anyone can provide to help figure this out.

Thanks
