Birth Control Mistake..help Posted: 02-17-07 12:47pm
Okay, well i've been on several different
birth control pills for about a year now,
I am always forgetting atleast one pill a
week, but I double up the next day. Well,
two weeks ago, I missed one, had sex, and
then the day before yesterday, I had
missed three, so I took two that night,
then two the next day , but yesterday I
had sex too. I've been spotting since two
weeks ago, and it's so light im really
worried. My period is due tomorrow, I
missed these pills on the 3rd week of my
pack. Whats the likely-hood that this
could result in pregnancy?
Thanks .

Spotting is normal whenever you miss
pills!
You have one problem though!
Whenever you miss more than one pill, you
need to use back-up for 7 full days for
the bc pills to be effective again!
I have become pregnant on bc pills, and
yes I did have an abortion.

Carifairy is right. Missing one pill is
alright, but two or more means you should
be using back-up protection. I once
missed three pills near the end of the
active pills, and I definately spotted!
Then my period game and it was the longest
and heaviest i've had in a long time, ever
since an incident over the summer which
turned all my periods lighter and only a
day or two long... Then I had this last
one, three-full-days of period and was
like "whaaa?" lol.
