Period, Pregnancy, And the Pill? Posted: 09-08-05 01:49am
Hi everyone, i'm new here. Here's my
situation: i've been on ortho-cyclen
(sunday start) for 5 years, with no
problems, and until recently had never
missed a pill. Two packs ago, I missed
the last active pill b/c I was out of
town. So I only took 20 active pills.
I hadn't had sex during that pack, and I
had a regular period during the pill-free
week. Since I missed the last active
pill, I started the next pack one day
early, so I was only off the pills for
seven days.
My question is, could I have ovulated from
missing the last active pill, even tho the
pill-free interval was still seven days?
I had unprotected sex on days three and
fifteen of the next pack. I'm concerned
about day three. If I had ovulated from
missing that last pill, when would it have
happened, and could I have gotten
pregnant?
I have since finished that pack, and I got
my period today. It seems normal, not
light or anything, but i've heard you can
have your period while pregnant so i'm
still a little scared. Is it common to
get a period after getting pregnant on the
pill? Or can I relax now and stop
worrying? I'd really appreciate any
advice. Thanks!

I have no idea what you mean by all those
day thirteens. That confuses me, but as
far as I know, {which I could be wrong} I
doubt you could get pregnant/ovulate. I'd
go to the doc and ask him/her about it.
Hope I help.
