Since pregnancy is possible on the pill and you are 3 days late I suggest buying a test. If it's neg. then don't worry about it let it go - it is possible to miss a period on the pill, especially if you jsut started taking it. If it's positive then you got some explaining to do but you also have the great miracle of life to experience!

I would take a home pregnancy test since you are late and if it comes up negative, wait a few days and try again. If the test comes up pregnant go to the doctors and have a blood test done to be 100% certain. If indeed you are pregnant, talk to your mother, you will need her love and support. She may be upet for awhile but she is your mother and ahe should love you no matter what. Is the guys you were with still around? Please keep me updated on this and I will try to help you out as much as possible. :o)

yes the guy that is the possible father is still with me. we've been together 2 years. he knows the situation and actually wants me to be. Hes happy. But having a mother like mine i cant be. I dont want to be pregnant yet again I do. If that makes sense. Its just i dont see how if we used a condom and i am on the pill. it dont make sense to me i guess. but im young. I will get a test i just dont know what ill say if its positive.

I am glad to hear he is in your life and wants to responsible. For your sake, I do hope you are not pregnant, but if you are think positive and take responsibility for your actions. I know you are young and not ready for this but it is a miricle and you will do just fine. You can't worry about your mother at this moment, you need to worry about yourself first. Don't get yourself too upset until you take the test. Let me know!

It is not at all uncommon for your period to become much lighter or stop altogether while on bcp. This is far more likely for you than pregnancy, especially if you are using condoms as well. Good luck!

just so you know....the chance of getting pregnant when using both the pill and a condom is very very very low, but it isn't impossible. if it did happen, i would think that most likely it was a combination of missing a pill or taking one late and probably a defective condom....or leakage....something like that. good luck!

Sometimes if you stress too much that you are pregnant, you'll make your period even more late.

It's amazing how the body works. If you're stressed out that could make you late too.

I know it's hard, but try to relax, and it might do you some good to get a test asap to put your mind to rest.
