Hi,
My name is Laura. I'm very worried after reading these posts that I may be pregnant. I missed 4 active pills in a row at the start of a pack. I just read that the worst week to miss active pills is the first week, which is exactly what I just did.

I've been taking the birth control pill, Yaz for over a year (other brands for many years before). Last month, I purposely skipped my period for a beach vacation. When the active pills ran out I just started a new pack of Yaz. Everything was fine and I got my period last week at the end of that pack. However, I didn't realize that I needed to start a new pack on Friday (it is Monday night right now), since my start day schedule changed when I skipped my period.

So, I've just come to the realization today that I missed 4 active pills in a row at the start of a pack. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend while on my period Friday, Sat., and Sunday. Since Friday was more than 72 hours ago, I assume the morning after pill won't work anyway. I'm really worried that I might be pregnant!
