Should I Stop Taking Birth Control? Posted: 08-07-05 15:52pm
About a month ago, my boyfriend and I had
unprotected sex. Now my period is a week
late. I took a home pregnancy test and
it was negative, but I am still wondering
if I may be pregnant. I have read about
birth control causing birth defects and
miscarriages, so I was wondering if I
should stop taking it until I can be
tested at the doctor's office...If anyone
has anything...Let me know...Please!!!

I forgot to mention that my boyfriend and
I have since broken up, so I won't be
having sex and there's no chance of me
getting pregnant (if i'm not already).

You should go see a doctor and ask if you
could get a blood test done. Some women
don't show the pregnancy hormone (hcg) in
urine. The birth control pill won't hurt
the baby. You'd be safe to stay on it
until you know for sure if your pg or not.

I read on dr site the same thing, that the
doses in b/c pills will not harm the baby.
Go to the dr oon though see what he has
to say about it.
