Missed Week of Pills - Pregnant? Posted: 02-09-07 09:27am
Hey guys,
here is the general story. I was on a
pill for about 3 months and was just
starting to kinda get regular. The week
before I was supposed to get my period I
had some mild break through bleeding which
I didn't think much of. Then the week I
was supposed to get it - nothing. I of
course was not taking my white pills that
week in anticipation for my cycle and my
husband and I had sex about 4 times that
week. I have done several home tests and
1 blood tests and all negative. The
problem is that is if got pregnant that
week that I was not taking my pills I
would not get a positive test result
probably for a few weeks still. Is there
a possibility that I could be pregnant? I
have had severe menstral like cramps,
nausea, dizzinies and fatigue, although it
could very likely be from my body getting
over the pill. My only option now is to
wait and see if I get my period before I
can take a new pill. Pls any advise on if
I might be pregnant would be helpful?

Before I can accurately answer.. Did you
miss your 'period pills", or did you miss
the ''active pills"??
Many women will have breakthrough bleeding
during pill use, where they may bleed the
week before their actual "period". This
is considered normal, and a woman should
keep taking her pack of pills as usual.
You should not stop taking the pill in the
middle of the pack due to breakthorugh
bleeding.
If you missed your "period pills", then it
doesn't matter. They are inactive pills
and you do not have to take them, they are
more for reminder purposes.
