Is it just because I missed some pills? I've been on b.c for about 4 years now. I take Tri-Nessa (its generic for Ortho). I missed the first day and doubled the second. Then I missed twice(like MOn.then Wed.) during the 2nd week of pills and made up for them. FOr almost a week now, i have been experiencing thick brown mucus on and off, some only when I wipe and others on a liner. My period should come Sunday. I have been feeling super tired though, and nauseas only a few days. But, I do pee like 1000 times a day now. My ovaries take turns hurting on different days. Do you think I should test? I look as if I have gained some weight. I am a very inshape girl. I just feel like i am like 6 weeks or something and still had a period last month. I have had a gosh awful cold. I just dont know what to do. My boobs arent sore. They just take turns hurting.
Any comments will be appreciated, thanks girls!

Hi krisas2004, welcome!
Being erratic taking your pills is not a good thing. This board recommends using back-up until you have taken at least 7 active pills in a row after a missed pill while any decrease in your hormonal protection is corrected. It's hard to say what's going on right now, it could be the after effects of the cold that are making you feel blah, but I think it would be a good idea to test to get a better idea of where you are. A good test kit is accurate about 14 days after the day of concern.
Since you are having trouble remembering to take your pills you might want to set a reminder message on your cell, PDA or computer to remind you at pill time. And there is a post in our FAQs with more tips about taking your pills correctly so you get the most protection possible.
Thanks for posting. When you test I hope you get the result you want. If you have more questions, please ask. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck and hugs,
Jill
