Can I get pregnant on bcp?

Ok, I think I'm a little nuts, but here it goes. I didn't technically miss any pills last cycle, but I took a few of them around 8-12 hours later than my usual time. Ever since I switched to Yasmin over a year ago, Aunt Flo lasts for 7 days. This cycle my period lasts for only 3 days. Day 1 and Day 3 were light flow. Day 2 was medium flow. Very unusual!

DH thinks I'm just a little cuckoo, but I've been having pregnancy symptoms. I've been peeing alot. I've been really emotional-crying, short tempered, etc. I was worried I was getting a sinus infection because I've been phlegmy, blowing my nose alot. My breast are ultra sensitive and sore. I want to sleep all the time.

I haven't taken an HPT yet. Should I? What do you all think?

What are the chances that I could be pregnant even though I am on BCPs? My sister swears that she was taking BCPs, faithfully, when she got PG with my niece and nephew.
Is there anyone out there that has also gotten pregnant on BCPs? If so, did you keep having your period?

I don't want to be silly and go buy an HPT, but if I am pregnant and continue to take Yasmin will it hurt the baby? Should I wait a month and see if Aunt Flo is back to normal? Please help!

Thanks in advance!
Sweet :)

I know quite a few people who got PG on BC. Could AF have been heavy spotting? What color was it? Was it Brown or bright Red? Did it have clots?


The only way to be sure is to take a test. If you still feel uncomfortable please call your DR to make sure.
