Pregnancy risk?

Hello - I am on the pill and have been since January.  I take it regularly in the evenings.  This past month, I did miss my first pill, but got right back on track.  I have not been having sex at all, but had it on Saturday night.  With a condom, although he did not put it on right away.  He did not ejaculate inside me without the condom.  I was supposed to get my period yesterday and I haven't got it.


Could I be pregnant?  I JUST had sex Saturday night (3 days ago) and that was the first time in months.  The reason I am nervous is because I ALWAYS get my period on Mondays (I do this purposely, by starting my pill packs on Fridays instead of the normal Sundays.  this was I never have my period on the weekends!)


I guess oyu could say I'm a tad stressed lately, but I haven't changed eating habits or exercis ehabits or anything else that may affect a period.

Hi kachstre, welcome to the board.

I wouldn't worry about being pregnant. You only missed the one pill, and it was well before you had protected sex. If you've been stressed, this could very well be causing a delay - especially if you're also worried about pregnancy on top of it!

It's not uncommon for a woman's period to start shifting back in the placebo pills by a couple of days once she has been on the pill for a while, so that is something else to consider.
