am i at risk?
| Mon, 12-11-2006 - 1:55am |
I have been on the pill for a few years. Last sunday night I had unprotected sex twice. At that point I was on the third active pill in the pack. Due to a family emergency I had to leave town the following day. I forgot to bring my pills with me and wound up missing for the next three nights. This was particularly bad timing being that missing pills at the beginning and end of the pack is the most risky since your body has the week of placebos and the least amount of hormones at that point. On Wednesday I started some very light spotting which has already stopped. I have not resumed taking my pills as a precaution in case I am pregnant. I have heard that the spotting I experienced is of no indication as to whether or not I am pregnant; as when women become pregnant while on the pill there is usually spotting due to hormones and this is also a common occurence from missing pills. My next period is not due until December 25th, does anyone know if it is possible for me to find out before then if I am pregnant? Do you think it is highly unlikely that I am pregnant?
