Okay, so I know I wasn't a regular around here but it's useless for me now. I have been feeling tired lately so I went to the doctor. I'm pregnant!! My EDD is June 4! I was on the pill for 2 years before I started sleeping with my b/f and before that I was not active. So now we're pregnant, still have to tell him though! I was on Yasmin. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones!

Were you taking your pills religiously? Did you even miss a period yet? Fill the rest of the pill takers in!! Being that you were still on the pill, I'm sure pregnancy was the last thing you expected to happen.

I took my pill every night before bed, or at 9:30. I never missed a pill, although I did start my last pack a week late (financial problems) but we used a condom. My doctor guestimates that it happened in early September though, around the 10 or so. I went to the doctor because I was feeling run down for a couple of weeks. Anemia runs in the family and I wanted to be tested. They did a pregnancy test also and found out that's why I'm feeling so tired. Morning sickness hasn't kicked in yet, thank god! This was the absolute last thing I expected, not that this baby isn't wanted but it's just so soon!

If you don't mind me asking, did you take your pills at the same time every day? I'm just wondering because I think your chances are 1 in 100 if you take the pill perfectly. Anyway, I wish you and your boyfriend the best of luck :)

Hi poserqueen, welcome back!

Oh hon, what a surprise! Wasn’t early September about the time you forgot the last 2 pills in your pack? Did you begin the next pack 2 days early as you should have? If not, that might explain what happened if your doc’s estimate is correct. Be sure to start on prenatal vitamins and take good care of yourself. ParentsPlace has some great support boards for expecting moms: http://www.parentsplace.com/messageboards/?arrivalSA=1&cobrandRef=0&arrival_freqCap=3 Let us know how you're doing ok?

That had to have been it! I forgot about that happening! Oh my goodness :) I told my boyfriend this morning, as I was hurling, and he was cool with it. He's excited and wants to come to the doctor with me when I have to go. So, hopefully things work out.
