my girlfriend is on seasonique. Shes been
on it for about 8 weeks and just started
a new pack about a week ago. She was late
on her first pill by 5 hours. we dont see
any symptoms of pregnancy and all she says
is her stomach hurts. iw as just asking if
this could be possible or are we just
parinoid. im not so much worried about her
stomach hurting because it hurt last month
as well. any advice?

You're fine- she can be late one day and
you're still protected.
Because she was late she might get some
spotting or something.

just curious -
is that your only form of birth control?
because although its very very rare i know
someone who got pregnant and took her BC
at the same time everyday

stomach pains arent a big sign of being
pregnant, missing a period, nausea,
fatigue, increase of hunger, ect. those
are signs of a pregnancy. I have gotten
pregnant not once, but twice on two
different types of B/C pills and i took
them on time every day, never missed a
MINUTE. But, i dont think your friend is
pregnant, if she still thinks she is after
a week or two, i would advise taking a
good quality pregnancy test such as EPT.

If someone gets pregnant on birth control
and they are taking it perfectly, they are
in the 1-3% of women that make up the
failure rate. I know it happens, but it's
not common. But the girls are right, it
does happen, so if a baby would be a big
problem for you and/or you aren't willing
to have an abortion, using condoms as well
might be a good plan.
For me, the 1-3% risk is ok.
It is more likely, if someone gets
pregnant on birth control, that either
they weren't taking it correctly, or they
were taking a medication that interfered,
or they missed pills due to throwing
up/diarrhea, or something like that.
