Not sure what to do....

I'm not really sure what to think. I've been on the pill for a while, never missed a day and if I did I always made it up via the instructions enclosed in the package. Well about two weeks ago I did miss one pill and didn't make it up like I should have, just went on with the pack. Anyways I'm two days late and have been having spotting for two days very lightly (not even enough to wear a panty liner) and it seems to have disappeared. I just assumed that my AF was on its way but it still hasn't shown up. I'm so bloated I'm about to pop, plus I'm having cramps, but not near as bad as my usual PMS.

I took two hpt and both negative. I'm not sure if my body's a little messed up from that one pill what? I'm normally pretty regular and regular flow.

Surely I didn't get pregnant from missing that one pill...right?

Any ideas? Any thoughts would be helpful. I'm kind of at a loss...this is the first time this has happened to me.

Well the pill isn't as effective if you skip a pill, but they do say that if you do to use back up protection, did you bd around that time? Since the bpc is a hormone it could be possible that your body's hormones are out of balance causing you to have the cramping and bloated feeling. But there is the change of pg if you bd'd around that time without using a back up protection, I would wait a while and then take another hpt if you didn't get your AF. I know alot of women who have gotten pg while being on some sort of birth control. It's not fool proof, especially when you don't take it as directed. Good luck...I am sorry if I didn't answer your question. If you don't get a full blown AF in a week or so I would test again.

Leah,

Thanks for your reply, for a little while I was a worried no one would reply :-).

Do you think I should continue with a new bc package or wait to see if AF comes? I took my last sugar pill yesterday and am due to start a new one today.

I thought about that too. Do you think you bd'd around the time you missed your pill where there is a possibility that you got pg? By now you missed your AF (except for spotting), when was the last time you took a test? I would say take a test with first morning urine tomorrow and if it is negative then I would say take your pill, BUT, maybe since I am not an MD, you should contact your MD's office and check on that. HTH Good luck!
