May Be Pregnant?!?!? Posted: 09-24-03 18:32pm
I was taking ortho-tri-cyclen for about 3
years. My boyfriend and I just moved out
of the house we were living in and I had
all my back up pills in my dresser drawer
there. While I was working during the day
him and some friends packed up the house.
So.... When the day of starting my new
pack came along it was no where to be
found. I had to wait a couple weeks to
get into the obg-yn and he had told me
that I should start my new pack after I
get my period. He also mentioned that it
should come on the same day as usual
(every 28 days, always) but now I am 3
weeks late. I've taken 2 pregnancy tests
and both came up negative, so I am
hesitant to go to the doctor. Is this
normal or should I make an appointment
asap? Thanks~ sara

Go to the doctor. It may make you
irregular too. But you should check with
the doc. They know!!! Good luck! Cuz
there is also a chance you might be
pregnant.

Is This Normal ? Posted: 09-24-03 18:37pm
If you normally have regular periods and
they are now late then that is not normal,
but there could be a few differnt
contributing factors. Such as the fact
you are probably now worrying that you are
pregnant so that will most likely delay
your period even more. If your pregnancy
test came back negative twice, chances are
you are not pregnant, if you are still
worried, go see your doctor for
confirmation, in the meantime while you
are not protected by the pill, use some
kind of other protection such as condoms
until you know you are covered again.
Take care, be safe.......

Hey....About 2 years ago I was on the same
bc. I stopped taking it and my body
thought I was pg and I didnt ovulate for
38 weeks. (thats what my doc. Told me)
apparently I am very fertile and the
smallest sign of no bc pill activates my
body to not drop or producec eggs.
Although this is not uncommon if you dont
take your bc pills. Did you have sex
while you were not on them? Or did you
just miss your pd bc you didnt take your
pill?? I hope this helps you a
little...Just take your pill and it should
regualte you again!!
