Hi!

I am currently on Ortho Cyclen, and have been since Jan 2003. This cycle, I was sick and throwing up so I didn't take my pills for 2 days. Then we went on vacation and I forgot my pill pack at home (6 days). Monday i was supposed to start my period, but it didn't happen. Last week Weds-Friday I was bleeding by it was very light- and a week early. What do you ladies make of this? Did I throw my cycle off or should I test?

Sounds like you threw your cycle off and last week was your af ! If you dont feel comfortable I would test .

Hi well let me tell you that on July I went on vacation and only had enough pills for 4 days I came home and began a new brand on sunday (due to the fact I had my af on 20th through the 24) Then I believe I conceived on the 29 or the 2nd of August. I feel sore nipples and back ache and headaches. I dont know whether you feel you might have but most likely I would suggest you wait until your period (given that perhaps you had it early?) Also, please do you think it is possible for me to have conceived and be pg?? Anyone

I'd also say your just off cycle a little bit. A blood test would probably be the best, I would think, especially if your cycle is a bit screwy right now.

Good luck!

I would say that your cycle deffinatly could be off from this. But it could be possible to have gotton pg in the whole mix you described. But don't get hopes up to high or low. Just give it time.
