This is a update from this posting:
I have been on birth control since I was 14 I am now 28 years old. I was on orthtricyclin 28 day cycle sunday starter for a while then was switched to trivora 28 day cycle Sunday starter. I have been on that for many years. In Jan 2010 I missed a month of pills. I got my period right on time Jan 21st 2010, but it was heavier then normal. I started taking my pills again on the Sunday jan 24th when I was supposed to start the new pact. I took all that months pills got my period in Feb on the 18th 2010. I missed some of the sugar pills for the 4th week and was unable to get a new pack of pills to start Sunday Feb 21st . It is now March 2nd and I finally have gotten my pills. I had unprotected sex Feb 28th and today march 2nd. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I should be worried or if I was correct in assuming that being on the pill for 14 years it wouldn't be a a big deal if I missed and was sexually active. I guess what I am asking is could I get pregnant even though I was on the pill as long as I was and I have only missed 9 pills as of right now march 2nd. I am kind of unsure I have been having some craping since yesterday march 1st and the sides of my breast are sore.
A Quick sum up:
Been on the pill for 14 years
Missed starting a new pack by 9 days as well as some of the sugar pills.
Have had 2 counts of unprotected sex feb 28 and march 2nd.
First day of last period was Feb 18th.
Was supposed to start new pill pack Feb 21st.
Could I get pregnant and when would I ovulate?
Could I even ovulate being on the pill as long as I have been?
I was due for my period on March 18th so far nothing has come except for one time when I wiped on the 19th and it was a tint of brown coloring. I took a test today mcrach 20th this afternoon and it came back negative. I am guessing that my system is just a bit messed up and it is taking longer for my monthly flow to start.
March 22, 2010 - 4:04pmThe weird thing is I feel normal as though I am not due for my period, except for feeling a smig bloated. I dont feel sick I dont have sensative breast or nipples. I feel normal like I would if I was mid cycle. I really dont know what to totally think but test was negative so I guess I am in the clear.
It is now Monday March 22 I started spotting on saturday night the 20th, was due on the 18 so I was late. It is now monday I am I still bleeding, so I do not think I am pregnant.

Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question. You have been taking the pill for many years although, yes you still can get pregnant when you miss or stop taking the pill. The pills main function is to regulate you daily and this is why it must be taken daily.
Since you took a pregnancy test and it was negative, I would say your probably in the clear. For future reference, be sure to use a back up method of birth control (i.e. Condoms) for at least 7 days after you miss taking the pill. I hope this information helps.

I think i have totally meesed up;
Started period on 3/2
March 19, 2010 - 1:01pmStared BCP on sunday 3/7
travelled and missed day 4,5,6
bleeding started on day 7th (march 13th)
took pills again on March 14th and 15th then decided to stop
Had unprotected sex on the 18th.
I ovulate right on day 14 each cycle and have ovulations pains. I have not had any ovulation pains this month. Is it safe to assume that my pregnancy chances are slim?

I've been on Loestrin 4Fe for three weeks. I had unprotected sex a week ago, and while I remembered the pills on the days before and day of, I missed the day after. I doubled up the next day. Since than I have missed one, but doubled up the next day. I have been lightly spotting ever since beginning the pill. Is there any chance I could be pregnant?

Hi, Anon,
You are probably just fine. The spotting is no doubt due to your body getting used to the pill, since it is hormonal. But you did exactly the right thing, and your protection should not have been interrupted.
If you continue spotting into your next cycle, it might be something to mention to your doctor; you may need a slightly higher or lower dosage of pill.
Does that help?

Hello there,
I just started birth control pills Feb 10, then accidentally started 1 day early this month on the 9th. I forgot to take my pills on the nights of 12th and 13th and had unprotected sex both nights without withdrawal. I took 2 Sunday morning then 1 Sunday night, and now I am back on track with the dates. I was wondering if I have a high chance of pregnancy? I am getting slight spotting at the moment. I just had an abortion last month so I am very worried that I could become pregnant again...please help!
