Ok let me see im 26 and have 2 children my husband and i didnt plan on having more so here is my problem..

In Dec I came down with an infection but wasnt diag. til Jan, Was on antibiotics and very sick so I went off my Pill OTC-lo... Now all better I started up the pill again March 28. My March flow was 22-26..I know all about using a back up method but in the heat of the moment on April 2 or 3 (cant quite remember been a busy month) my husband finished his duty in me. I have continued the pill although Im not going to lie this month has been so busy I have taken a couple 3 or 4 pills late and even missed one (I KNOW THATS BAD)Well I started having pinching sensations on lower right side of abdomen Those have went and I started having mild cramps bout a week and a half now. Last Friday they were pretty bad had to sit down.. Now I have this "feeling" that there is something in my lower right abdomen sometimes it is a strong feeling other times I dont even notice it. Its about half way between my belly button and pubic hair line to the right. No feelings at all on left side of abdomen..No pain using bathroom or anything..Could this be a sign of pregnancy or something else like just PMS??

I go on the non hormone pills (what ever their called) sun and usually start my AF Tues or Wed...I took a EARLY TEST HPT but it came out negative and the instructions said only got like 63% right before AF due. So I dont thinks its thats reliable. I just hate to ask "could I be pregnant" Its asked so much..And I have 2 kids I thought I know but this has just thrown me for a loop...Thanks so much Mary

Being late on your pills you could ovulate and it could make your period come later then usual. Where you are saying the pain is seems to be about the same place as your appendix. But I would think if it was your appendix you would be in some major pain by now. If your period doesnt start by the time you start your next pack of pills I would take another pregnancy test. And keep an eye on that pain. Also, have you and your husband considered a vasectomy or a tubal? Or maybe even an IUD(which lasts 5-10 years depending on the brand). I have 2 children and we decided not to have anymore so my husband had a vasectomy. Before that, I had a "scare" and now I know that it was the right thing to do! Good luck and let us know what happens!

It could be lots of things....If AF doesn't come in a few days try and wait until you're officially LATE and test again...I know it's hard but the results could be more accurate.
