Help! Am I Pregnant?
Posted: 05-25-07 23:21pm

Here's my situation.

1. I missed my pill 2 days in a row, took the double amount.

2. Had unprotected sex the first day I missed my pill (day 1 of the two days I missed)

This is all 12 days ago.

Now, a few days before my period I have this very small spot. I have no other symptoms of pregnancy

Should I be worried?

It's possible that you are pregnant. Every time you have sex, pregnancy is a possibility. Whenever you do not take your pill as intended, it increases your chances of getting pregnant. You can never rely on symptoms when you are trying to find out if you are pregnant. The only way to know is to take a pregnancy test.

.their is a chance you could be pregnant when you have not been taking your pills correctly. .if you are already past the time when you period is due you can take an at home pregnancy to make sure.

It is possible to get pregnant when you miss more than one pill & have unprotected sex.

However, the odds are not in favor that missing 2 pills would have caused you to suddenly ovulate within 2 days. It can happen, but most women would need to miss more than 2 pills to start triggering the ovaries to wake up and their bodies to ovulate.

Breakthrough bleeding is common when you alter the way you take the pill--skip doses then have to double up doses. I'm thinking that is most likely what happened in your case.

Wait and see if your period starts with the placebo pills as usual then if not, take a test.

arcadia,
I'm assuming she forgot that she didn't take her pill the day she had sex. When I was on the pill, rarely, I would forget one pill and not notice it until I went to take my pills the next day.

i suppose that is a possibility. i just can't imagine ever forgetting to take my pill. i guess it's different for me.. i have a 10 week old son & i definitely don't want anymore kids probably ever. so i never ever forget mine.


to the poster:

.maybe you should set an alarm on your cellphone or something. to go off every single day at the time you're supposed to take your pill. that way you won't forget.
