Birth Control and Pregnant?

HI,

I am new to this board and a little curious. I have been on BC(Yasmin)for almost 2 yrs, I have been only late 3 times in my life. I have been taking my pills on time and not forgetting them. I only forgot one time and that was about a year ago. Ok here is my question. I am 3 weeks late and I took a pg test last week and it came up positive. I just took another one yesterday and it was postive too.They were two different brands (fact plus and lifesigns), and the lines were not faint at all. I was just wondering what my chances are that these are wrong. Especiall since I have been doing so good on my bc. Believe me this is not good news at all. I already have a 9 and 2 yr old. Just curious. Planning on going to dr. next week.

thank you.

Well, I am sorry this is not good news to you but it does sound like you are pregnant! No birth control is 100% full proof (99.95% is not 100%) and if your tests came back positive (twice!) is it 100% sure that you are. The hormone would not be in your system if you weren't.

Hope this helped.

Good luck.

Thank you,

I guess, just deep down inside I was praying that the test was wrong. But as you know if birth control is only 99.5 (or something like that), what are my chances. Why do I have to be the one, Jeez if I can get those odds, why can't I win the lottery?
