missed a few pills... pregnant?
| Mon, 09-18-2006 - 12:00pm |
my husband is over seas. so i had been off bcp for close to nine months. then i started taking the pill a month before i was to see him for R+R. the first month taking them i was real good about taking them every day. i tend to be bad about taking them the same time every day. the second month i started to slip. i missed a few pills. i started heavy bleeding right before i saw my husband. i met him in greece, so my time zone was off. we had unprotected sex (usually finishing inside) an average of 2-3 times a day for 2 weeks (i hadnt seen him in ten months!!!) i continued to spot the whole two weeks. but i took my pill every day (again i was off on the times). when i got home i threw the pills away and bleed for another day or two real heavy. now im worried i may be pregnant. i took a test, but it said negative. but then again i may have taken it too early. what are the chances im pregnant? how many pills can i miss before the bcp in ineffective? i was on ortho tri-cyclen low.
