I have been taking OrthoTriCyclen for about a year and a half now and I must admit that I am not the most timely person. Some days I take it at 7pm..sometimes at 11..sometimes not til the next day. My fiance and I are not TTC at the moment but we are open to it. I was wondering if anyone has even gotten pregnant on birth control pills. My fiance and I frequently have sex with no other method of birth control aside from the pill. Last week I took my pill late and five minutes later we had sex. Could I be pregnant? Have been feeling a little more exhausted that usual, not very hungry, having shortness of breath, increased thirst, cramps and have been waking up sweating when the house is freezing. I skipped the placebos and just went straight into the next pack this month so I missed my period..it would normally have come today. I dont want to go out and get a test for nothing. Could I be PG? I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks

from one angel to another... I think the odds of you being pregnant are slim. Your symptoms could be just from skipping your period. My suggestion ... its better to be safe than sorry. I know they can be expensive but take a test. Because if for some reason you did manage to get pregant, you dont want to continue your birth control. it can cause harm to the baby. and if you are not, then you will continue it and perhaps be a little more timely with it?!? good luck!
