If you're on birth control pills... And
by some odd chance you get pregnant...
How will you know? Will you still get
your "period"?

Most likely you will miss a period, just
like any woman who is not on birth
control.
If you suspect or fear pregnancy, you can
take an "early' pregnancy test about 4
days before a period.

Ohh okay, thank you...
Can you use the early preg. Tests after
the "4 days before your period"? Will
they will work the same?

Yes they do, although early tests do not
always show up in pregnant women.
I have become pregnant on birth control
and I did feel different and my 'periods'
changed.

Hmm... Really? How did your periods
change?
I'm just a little worried because I feel
different as well, but I dont know what to
think.. I bought a test but i'm too
afraid to do it, i'm waiting until this
weekend when I see my boyfriend...

They were nothing more than spotting
really, my breasts became sore and I just
generally felt unlike my usual self. Try
not to be scared, birth control is 99%
effective so you may not have gotten
pregnant.

Blahh I hope not.. We'll see...
Wednesday my period is due, so we'll see
how that goes... If it's differernt in
some ways, or doesn't come at all... I'll
take the test right away, even if it does
come, I think i'll still take the test
jsut to be sure...
I'm trying not to worry but it's almost
impossible...It's so scary.... Plus it
was our first time unprotected

Well as long as you'd been on the pill for
more than a week, and you didn't miss any
pills then you should be perfectly safe.

I have been on the pill for more than a
week, i've been on it for about 6
months... And i've never missed one,
never even been late on a pill...
Anywho, today is wednesday and no
period....
I'm freaking...
Big time

My period came overnight ... Much later
then it normally comes on wednesdays...
Should I still be worried about pregnancy?
