ok..you know how sometimes you can scare yourself sh*%less? Yeah, I've been doing that. I've been on the pill for 2 months, and at the end of my last pack..as in I was on the last placebo...no bleeding....I had unprotected sex with my bf and now I'm scared to death I might have messed it up. I mean...i'm not NEW to bc i was just off it per docs orders then went back on it..and now i'm just scared you know? i take it religiously...always within the time frame...usually +- 30 minutes if that. so...is it possible? should i keep myself up everynight scared to death? my bf thinks not....any suggestions?

If you're worried, why not take a pregnancy test instead of staying up half the night worrying? If it's been two weeks since you had "unprotected" sex, the test would be accurate.

Some women do skip periods when they're on the pill, it's not totally strange! Your pills will protect you through the placebo week as well--it's 28 days of protection so long as you take your active pills correctly. If you're doing everything you're supposed to, the likelihood of pregnancy is very small.

Good luck!
