Can I Be Pregnant?
Posted: 08-23-06 13:00pm

Hello, im new to the forum and can use some opinions/thoughts/help. I have been on bc pills for about 2 yrs now. I've always been good about taking them everyday, right on schedule therefore my periods have always been on time. In june, though, I didn't take the last 2 pills of the 3rd active week. Then came my period during the 4th inactive week, as usual. I started my new pack for the month of july but when I finished the pack I didn't get my period until a week after the reminder pills( I was a week late). Now im done with the august pack, im already a week late and don't know if it could be that im pregnant or just that those 2 pills I missed threw me off schedule and have since then been taking my pills wrong. I was waiting for this period to start taking them again, the sunday after my period but that hasn't happened. I usually brake out before my period comes and get a huge headache, which have already come but still no period. Any opinions??? Could those two missed pills be messing me up to a point where I might skip a period?

It could be the pills but since you have had sex there is a huge chance that you could be pregnant.Did you use a condom? I would wit a while and then test

Hi melissa, thanks for your post. My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex, we just use the pills but no condoms or any other form of protection. Yeah, i'll probably wait a few more days before I test. Im just confused because this had never happened to me and ive heard when you miss pills it can really throw you off schedule but I thought by now id be ok. After those two I missed, ive been taking them everyday on time as usual.

You can take a test now. I doubt you are pregnant from 2 missed pills at the end of your cycle. It sounds like the hormones have messed your cycle around.

If you are pregnant from your birth control pill mix up over 4 weeks ago, a pregnancy test would show positive by now - if you are in fact pregnant.

Good luck! And always use back up protection when you skip or miss pills!
