ortho-tri cyclen lo , for a year now & stress Posted: 11-01-05 13:04pm
Hi everyone!! I am new to this site and I
had a quick question hopefully some of you
could help me with an answer.
I have been on the pill for almost a year
now (ortho-tri cyclen lo) do to a very
hectic past couple of weeks, I missed 3 of
my pills. My husband and I have been
having unprotected sex because I figured
it wasn't a big deal only missing a couple
of them. I just finished my period about
a week ago. Just today I noticed while
going to the restroom that I had a pinkish
watery discharge (no odor or itching or
redness) I went online to health sites and
it kind of sounds like it could be
implantation bleeding. They say it is
usually a light pink watery discharge. I
was wondering, #1 can I get pregnant after
just having my period a week ago? And #2
could I get pregnant by only missing 3 of
my pills in the past 3 weeks??
Please right back asap

Did you miss three consecutive pills? Or
just three pills like one each week? If
you missed three in a row there is a
chance for pregnancy even though you had a
period. If you just missed three
randomly there is still a chance of
course, but it's definitely less of a
chance. I'm not sure what to make of the
discharge - maybe you're reading too much
into it. If you're still concerned
though, you can always do a pregnancy
test!
Hope that's of some help to you!
