Birth control: should I expect my period?
Posted: 01-31-07 03:31am

i am on levlen ed and have also been on antibiotics i have missed 2 pills in the 1st week and a pill here and there over the next week all up i have missed 6 pills. Also if i count backwards from the time my period is due i did have unprotected sex with my fiance around the 6th day of the pil and the 12th,14th and the 17th with no extra backup.
Now my period is due in 6 days and i do kinda have the period symptons but this time i dont have sore breasts and i always get that.i have noticed i am feeling very exhausted last week or so.are the chances high that i have fallen preg and if so as i am still on th epill should ui be expecting a period still?
thank you

According to the data about missed pills and unprotected sex, it seems that you might get pregnant. You should expect your period, regardless of whether you using pills or not . If you miss an expected period, you could be pregnant. Pregnancy must be confirmed or excluded via a home pregnancy test.
