Question about bc pill

Hi, I've been taking bc pills since my 19mo. son was born and always started a new pack on a Sunday. Well, last month I wasn't able to start a new pack until a monday. I'm just wondering if I could possibly get pg just from starting one day later than usual. I suspect that I may be pg but it is too early to tell for sure yet. Just subtle symptoms that could easily be just "in my head" or symptoms of af coming. My af is due next Wed. or Thurs. so if I don't get it by then I will test. I just thought I'd post because it is torture waiting and doing nothing! We were actually going to officially start trying to get pg after this last bc pack, but a little bit earlier would be just fine. I don't like getting my hopes up, I'm fighting every urge to go and buy a test. We don't have money to waste if I just end up getting af anyway. Appreciate your thoughts if you have time! thanks, amy

Possible, maybe, but I think that it would be pretty unlikely. Most people don't take the pill perfectly, and while some do get pregnant, most of the time, people don't. If I were you, I would try not to get my hopes up, because more likely than not, you will just be in for a disapointment. Just remind yourself that next month you can start trying, and let yourself focus on the hope that lies ahead. I know how frusterating the waiting and the uncertainty can be, though. For now, work on eating healthy and getting your body ready so that when you do start trying, you will be in for a heaslthy pregnancy. I wish you the best of luck in the months ahead:) ~Azurea
