started pill 1 day late
| Mon, 06-28-2004 - 7:41am |
Hi,
I usually begin taking my pills on Sunday. This past month, however, forgot to take my pill on Sunday, so I just did a Monday start. This means that I went 8 days (instead of 7) without taking a pill. I had sex a few times this month without condoms. I am now due for my period today or tomorrow, but I'm nervous. What are the chances that I could have ovulated because of one extra day without taking a pill?
Also - I usually have BTB during my third week. I bled on Friday for a few hours, but then took my pill and it stopped. Since then, no bleeding.

No one can say what your chances were of ovulating but the effectiveness of your pills was reduced by some amount. After you began your new pack, if you then went 7 days of correct pill usage before having IC then you are probably ok. If you have had some btb, that’s a good sign. I think AF should be along any time now. Let us know when she shows, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
I've had some cramping over the past few days, off and on, but with the exception of some blood on Friday, nothing. I know my body really well, but I'm confused. Usually once I begin to BTB, it does not end until I get my period. This is why I'm nervous...2 1/2 days of no blood...But why would I have bled on Friday?
Hugs,
Jill
I just don't understand how I could possibly be pregnant. Yes, I started my pill 1 day late, but did not have sex for 6 days after that. I have never missed a pill before this month. :-( I didn't realize that starting one day late could even through my cycle off at all.
The thing I don't understand is why I bled on Friday, but now have nothing.
