could i b Pregnant
| Mon, 09-06-2004 - 5:15pm |
im 21 i've been on the pill 4 3months now. i've been getting my period regularly every month since i started but now on my fourth month i missed my period and im concerned that i could b pregnant im a week late i started taking some diet pills at the being of the month but i asked the doctor if it would effect the pill in anyway and she said no so i was just curious what is the possibility that i could be pregnant im very stressed out of that possibility. i haven't missed any pills if anything i might take it 30 minute lates but thats about it.

I don't like to be second guessing doctors since I have no medical training. However, this board recommends members not use diet pills while on hormonal contraceptives because the FDA doesn't require supplements to be tested for interaction with BCPs. If the diet pill speeds up your metabolism enough to cause you to loose weight, it might also cause the pill hormones to metabolize too rapidly and lower their effectiveness. In most cases we don't know for sure unless an unintended pregnancy occurs, but why take a chance? Some women do skip periods on BCPS so perhaps that is what is going on. If you are already late you can test to see where you are. If I were you I'd stop the diet pills. If you test I hope you get the result you want. Let us know how you're doing, ok? Good luck.

Some women do skip periods occasionally when they take the pill, it's not terribly unusual! It's not too early to take a pregnancy test if you want to find out...
Good luck, I hope everything goes okay!
