I am on ortho lo and I had to missed my
14th pill due to vomiting and diarrhea. I
started bleeing bright red lightly that
day and part of the next.I doubled up the
next day like the instruction packet says.
I only missed one pill.I also take my
pills on time.I was worried so I continued
to take the rest of my pills. I have not
had intercourse since before I was sick.
I am on my sugar pills I usually start on
tues or wed and today is friday and
nothing. I thought maybe the break
through bleeding messed my cycle up. I
don't have any pregnancy symptoms. I am
still scared to death and worried sick. I
was wondering of anyone has had a similar
situation. Please help :?:

Hey there. I think you should take a
pregnancy test, because the results would
be accurate by now. I'm not in your exact
same situation, but i'm on the same pill
and have been sick for the past week and I
started bleeding 5 days before starting my
placebos. I'm not even on my placebos yet
and my midwife said I should take a
pregnancy test. I take my pills on time
too, every night. I think you should be
fine especially if you doubled up... But
to ease your mind, you can take a test.
I'll probably take one in a few days.

Anytime you miss pills breakthrough
bleeding and spotting is very common and
usually expected by most women.
You doubled up which is very good, the
best thing you can do is take an early
pregnancy test.

Thank you both for replying so soon.
I knew that I probably needed to take a
early pregnancy test. I was trying to
wait it out and see my period came before
I did so.
I started bleeding really heavy last night
with bad cramps. Its tapered off and is
lighter this morning. I still will
probably take a test to ease my mind
though. If not I am gonna resume taking
my pills as normal. I just hope
everything is ok.

Keep taking those pills...
If you chose to continue am unexpected
pregnancy birth control pills would do no
harm... Some women do keep pregnancies
even if they were on the pill and have
healthy babies and pregnancies.

Thanks for all your advice. It makes
means a lot to have someone to answer my
questions.
Oh don't worrry I am gonna keep taking my
pills. I also totally forgot that when I
get really stressed in my daily life, I
have been know to miss periods on the
pill. Its been awhile though. I have
been majorly stressed out about other
things and my worrying about my period
hasn't helped things.
