Skipped pills and wondering
| Thu, 02-01-2007 - 3:48pm |
Hi everyone! I have been lurking here since yesterday and everyone seems to really know what they are talking about. Here is my situation. I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen for over 5 years and even though I haven't always taken it as I should I haven't made any BIG oops. Till this past month. I had a normal AF from Jan. 17 to 21. I was supposed to start a new pack on Jan. 21 but I didn't buy a new one until the 26th. The only excuse I have is that I have been stressed out from school and I honestly didn't remember till then. Actually I'm not that great at remembering always to take my pills and quite often my husband is the one who has to remind me. But with him having early classes and therefore going to bed early I sometimes just crash hours after he's already asleep. So anyway, I bought a new pack on the 26th, but instead of just starting the pack with the first pill that night without thinking about it I skipped ahead and took the pill that I should have taken that night anyway and left the rest of the pills in there. Later on I figured everything would work out fine because hubby and I haven't had sex in a while because of our crazy schedules. Well we did have sex Jan. 26 and 29. My question is could I have gotten pregnant by skipping those first 5 pills? I know there is always an increased chance if you skip any pills at all but what about in the first week? I always thought it was the middle of the pack that was the worst time to skip. I'm not due for my AF until Feb. 14. I'm just really nervous because I can't believe how dumb I was. Thank you anyone for your answer and sorry for the long winded message. :)
