Hi
I have a dilema. Well I been on the pill
for about 2 months. I haven't been
taking them at the same time but I have
been taking them. Well recently I had
unprotected sex before I was suppose to
take my pill. I forgot my pill I took it
another day later but then I didn't take
the other pill for that day. I stopped
taking the pill altogether because I have
been having some pregnancy symptoms. It's
been about three days since I been off the
pill. I took a pregnancy test but came
negative I don't know if maybe I took it
to soon. I just started spotting or hving
what might be a period but I don't know.
I'm not sure if it's because I just got of
the pill or if im pregnant. I haven't
been of the pill that long to be bleeding.
My periods are somewhat irregular but to
my calculations my period should come
around next week give or take. How do I
know if this is my period or pregnancy?

Well, i'm not an expert or anything, but I
think it's possible you could be pregnant,
since you missed the pill, and then
stopped taking them. However, I wouldn't
worry about it. Since you stopped taking
the pill you could be starting your
period. The only thing that stops your
period when you're on the pill is the
hormones, so it doesn't matter that you
shouldn't start til next week, because you
stopped the pills early. I think that it
would probably be too early for a
pregnancy test to work, but I don't think
you would be pregnant anyway. If you
haven't gotten your period by the end of
next week, then go to the doctor and ask
to have a test done. They can tell you.
And if it's negative, then I would suggest
finding a form of birth control you can
remember to take, especially if you're
having unprotected sex and don't want a
baby.

This doesn't feel like a period because
now the spotting has stop. Would being
off the pill for three days start my
period.. This has happened last year, I
was taking the pill unregular and I ended
up pregnant and I didn't have any symptoms
but a missed period(had a miscarriage).
So I don't really know if its that or not.
I'm not scared of pregnancy I just really
want to know..

It's possible that you are spotting and
will start in a few days. However, it's
also possible that it's implantation
bleeding. That happens when the
fertilized egg hooks onto the uterus.
How long ago was the incident with
unprotected sex?? If it was more than a
week, I wouldn't worry about this being
implantation bleeding, cause I think it
would have done that already. If it was
only four or five days ago, then you might
want to talk to a doctor.

It happened about friday or saturday of
last week. So it's been only 6 days or 7
days ago.

It's possible that the spotting was
implantation bleeding. If you don't get
your period by the time that it was
supposed to come had you stayed on the
pill, go to the doctor and ask for a
quantitative blood test. Hpt's can just
be a waste of money, so go straight for
the blood test so you can know for sure.
The quantitative will not only tell you if
you're pregnant or not, but how much hcg
in in your system.
I hope everything comes out the way you
want it to!!

Please see your doctor to have a blood
test.It may be too soon,but with your
history of irregular periods and pill use
,it is very possible that you are indeed
pregnant.Good luck.Patty
