Please Help!! Could I Be Preganant? Posted: 11-15-04 06:49am
I am currently on the pill. I take the
pill regularly and have done so for about
a year.
On friday evening I forgot to take one and
I had unprotected sex around 3am (sat
morning) & 11am (sat morning). When I
finially remembered to take it, it was
around 6pm. (i have basically missed a
pill altogether)
i took my last pill yesterday and should
be due on this thursday.
What are the chances of me being
preganant?
If I am, would I still come on this
week?
Thanks - your advice and comments would be
helpful.

Hi,i don;t really have an answer for you
sorry to say, I just didn;t want you to
see that so many people viewed your post
and no answer..... You think it would ba
slim to none chance, but you hear of
people all of the time who miss one and
get pregnant, so good luck to you and I am
sure someone wiser to the situation than
me will answer your question soon... All
of these girls on here are great..... You
came to the right place to ease your mind,
but don;t stress, you can always go to the
dr later when it has been long wnough for
a blood test, or just buy a hpt.

Thank u 4 ur help.
Also I finished antibotics last tuesday
and now I have heard that this lowers the
strength of the pill 7 days later.
Are my chances of being pregnant even
higher now??

Wow. First of all even girls on the pill
who don't miss can get preg. (not very
often though). But if u completely
forget u should use extra protection for
at least one week after (some docs say 2
weeks). And usually they say if u
remember to take it w/in 12 hrs after u
would normally take it, u should be ok...
However antibiotics completely void the
pill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! While u r on
them u need to use extra protection
(condomns) for the period ur on them and
for 2 weeks after. Not sure what to tell
u ur chances r but did want u to know for
the future what to do when this happens.
Good luck

Last year I was on the shot for about 9
months and I switched to the pill I was on
the pill for about a month or two into it
I started missing the pills I tried to
take it when I remembered but it was two
late and I got pregnant(but missed carried
later. I think if u miss three or more
then there's a problem,but there are
people who miss one and got
pregnant.....Just try and wait to see if
ur period comes or not..

Just wait to see if your period comes...
Then try testing before your next expected
period or call your gyno

am a little confused about considering I

No, your not being silly~your just
concerned! If it would calm your nerves
then yes, take a test! It never hurts to
just test and see what it says! Good
luck!
