Hi,
I'm 18 and stressing myself out to the max
at the possibility of myself being
pregnant, i had sexual intercourse on the
29th of January and have had some spotting
today on the 9th of February, I'm due for
my Periods on 12th of February. We didn't
use a condom, but i am on the pill. I take
it regularly every night between 8pm and
10pm depending what time i work till and
when i get the chance to take it, i missed
a pill about a week prior to having sex
but took it immediately when i realized i
had forgotten taking it which was about
9am the following morning.
What are the chances of me being pregnant?
I also realize that stressing delays
periods, but i just can't stop feeling
stressed. Also i have 3 more tablets
before i finish my sheet of pills, should
i continue taking the last few pills
leading up to my period time or stop
taking them and see if my periods come
sooner?
I do remember spotting a few days prior to
getting my periods before, but it doesn't
happen often I'm wondering if it's
implantation bleeding or just something
that can happen?
I don't know what i will do if i don't get
my periods, my mum would be furious with
me I'm sure if i mentioned the possibility
of being pregnant too her.

So technically you did not do anything
wrong regarding taking your pills, because
you took the one dose you missed, right?
I would not stop taking the rest of them,
though.
You should call your obgyn and ask their
advice, and to ease your mind.

you can miss ONE PILL and be ok. one pill
will most likely NOT lead you to pregnancy

Break through bleeding in between period
can happen on the pill and that sounds
very much like what you experienced. It is
unlikely you are pregnant.
IF you miss your period, take a pregnancy
test. However, do NOT stop taking your
pills until pregnancy is confirmed or ...
you know, your period starts.

Yeah I took my pill right when I woke up.
And I also had break through bleeding but
that didn't worry me because I've missed a
pill before and that had happen. So if you
miss just one pill it is possible to get
pregnant!

my mom said both times she got pregnant
with my sister and i, she had only missed
one pill. even with taking the pill
regularly you can get pregnant, but the
chances are slim. i also knew a girl who
was on the pill regularly, had her period
and only gained 10 pounds then one day she
got sick and popped out a little boy to
her surprise. she had no idea. strange
things happen.
but, most likely you arnt pregnant. take a
test to be sure.

she's aware if she's pregnant now or not.
