Well...I know what most of you are going to say about this post. How irresponsible. Here is the thing. I am on the Birth Control Yasmin. I am on my 4th package. (I had a horrible reaction to a different type for the 3 months before that) Well anyways. This month I was terrible at taking my BC the first week. One of them, I even lost, and didn't take it. (I know, that is horrible) So I was late about 4 out of 7 days of the first week, and missed one completely. Well this week, I was feeling like I was going to be starting my period. And on Tuesday I was feeling like I was ovulating, (very sharp pains around my ovaries, and my lower back was killing me) Well on Wednesday same thing...except I had "very" unprotected sex that morning. I was completely not thinking, and was thinking that I ovulated next week. MY BAD. Tuesday and Wednesday were my days of ovulation. What are the chances I could get pregnant???? Please don't tell me that I am a dumby for not taking my pills right. I just completely was wrong about my ovulation. What is your input??

well, it's definately a possibility- but, it tends to be easier to concieve if you have sex BEFORE you ovulate~ so, there's less of a chance, having had sex on wed, than if you had on Mon, i guess... if that helps at all~

OOPS! Well, there is always the chance you can get pregnant. You'll have to be "good" and wait and see what comes. You should consult your doc. and see if this birth control (I'm not familiar with this one) should be stopped until you know (have a period, etc.) It's about all I can offer. Take care of yourself and protect yourself from other things besides preg. too. Good luck to you. --Jessica

Your not alone on the pill subject...I will admit all my children were "boo boo" Pills make me so sick I cannot take them....depo I pretty much had a light AF for an entire year constant before I had enough, I tried the Nuva ring for a few months but it gave me horrible cramps on and off all the time, so I got off that....So now I am on nothing again have been for about 4 months now. I just can't find anything that hasn't had horrible side effects. Don't feel dumb, if you really can't handle your pills talk to your doctor, and see what else you could try.

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for the responses. I know I shouldn't have assumed you were going to think I was a dumby. I was a little defensive, cuz I was disappointed in myself. And I also know how many women are trying to get pregnant, so I felt a little awkward. :) So anyways, its been about a week since my boo boo, and I just can't stand this. Now I am obsessing. The fact that I could be pregnant and also the fact that I may not be is killing me. I have a fiancee that I have been with for over 4 years, so I am not totally in the worse position. Don't get me wrong, I would love to be married, and it would be best if we waited a bit longer for this, but whats meant to happen will happen, right?? I know that this may seem wierd, or a little obsessive, but I had some cramping a couple of days ago, kind of like period cramping, is that too soon?? (I also know that it could be from my pill..but this is a first since I have been on it) Well I don't know, I guess I just needed to talk about this real fast. I can't talk to my fiancee about it untill I have a reason to, because he will flip out. He is building us a house right now, and it would just be a reason to freak out I guess. So anyways....thanks for listening. :)

I am sure I have nothing to worry about. Just needed to vent :)
