Hello, I can't believe I"m on this board...I have a 2 year old but DH & I are NOT trying to conceive!! I am on BCP...yes I know you can get pg. on those but...

I have NOT missed any pills! I had my period a few weeks ago, but I only had a very very very LIGHT one and had NO cramps!! I only used a tampon for 1 day! My periods have gotten lighter since I had my DS but not that light! I am sooooo very tired also. I have a very busy schedule but I just can't keep my eyes open! Other than that, no symptoms...no nausea, no sore breasts, nothing else. (had all those w/ DS, but I know symptoms can change each preg.)

Should I go buy a HPT? I am scared to! I don't want to be pg right now but if I am...I am!! plus I am a bit nervous because I am on an anti depressant and don't want to be on that while pg! any advice? thanks, sadmomma

I say take the pregnancy test and see. You don't want to be on medicine while carrying a baby could be harmful. So the sooner you know the better it will be. But just sounds like stress could play a roll in the light AF too. Hopefully everything works out for you

It is possible that you are preggo. I got pregnant with my first while on ortho-tricyclen and with my second 4 days after stopping micronor which my dr. said means it wasn't working. After the first pregnancy, my Dr. said even though the companies claim 99% effectiveness, it is only about 90% in practice. He said if you are taking oral contraceptives there are many things that can effect the absorbtion of the hormones into your system including stress. Also, if you had a stomach bug or diarhea lately then the pill could have gone straight through without being absorbed. That said, I hope everything works out for the best for you. Good luck.

While I was on BCP my periods were getting so light, I'd basically skip them here and there. I thought I was pregnant a couple times, but never was. Go ahead and test to know for sure.
