I FORGOT TO TAKE THE PILL ON THE FIRST AND SECOND DAY OF MY NEW PACK AND THEN AGAIN ON THE 10TH DAY. I HAVE HAD SPOTTING ON DAYS 13TH AND 14TH. I ALSO HAVE BEEN NAUSEATED AND HAVE VERY TENDER BREAST. COULD I BE PREGNANT OR IS THIS JUST FROM MISSING THE PILLS? MY DOCTOR SAID TO GO OFF THE PILL WHICH WILL BE TODAY AND IM ONLY ON THE 15TH DAY THEN IF I START MY PERIOD I AM RESTARTING MY PILL ON THAT SUNDAY. MY PERIOD LAST ONLY LAST ABOUT 5 DAYS. IF IM NOT PREGNANT COULD I STILL GET PREGNANT IF I DONT USE PROTECTION? OR AM I OUT OF DANGER ON THIS TILL I START MY NEW PACK? PLEASE HELP ME FAST... THANKS
If you are not already pregnant, yes, you could get pregnant if you don't use back-up protection. (It all depends on if/when you ovulate.) Use condoms until you get your period and then start the new pack of birth control. Also, it is not a bad idea to use back-up protection for the month that you go back on the pill, just to be sure.
