Hey everyone! Well, I have been using Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for the past few years ( 28 day Sunday starter). I am not always perfect about taking them everyday or at the same time every day either. Now this month on week 1 it seems like I was forgetting every other day to take my pill. Then at the beginning of week 2 I lost my pack. I can't find it anywhere at all, which irks my nerves bad! So today will be day 5 of week 2 and I haven't taken any of week 2 at all. And on Saturday night my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and that is right about the time (or right before) I ovulate and again on Monday night we had unprotected sex but he did pull out though ( i know that doesn't much). So apparently I haven not taken much of this month's pill pack, like 4 or 5 pills maybe. My last period was June 16 - 19 and my next period should of started July 13 if I had taken my pill correctly and not of lost them. This morning when I woke up and I was bleeding, which is what I am guessing is my "break through" bleeding because I have missed to many days. I know it is too early for signs or to test, but what are the chances that I might be or become pregnant with me pissing pills and all???? and i appreciate anyone giving me answers or advice. Also, when should I start taking my next pack. Should I take it like I was going to in about 2 weeks or so or should I wait a whole other month since I'm guessing my body schedule is a little messed up right now?? Thanks!!!

Hi hon: Well the chances are just the same as if you weren't on BCP!! IT's Russian Roulette actually. So the only thing to do is wait till your next period WAS supposed to start around July 13 and then take a HPT and see. The only thing is because you are having your period now - due to your body thinking it's time, It could be iffy with taking the pill. ALSO IF you are pregnant, it is not a good idea to take the BCP anyway. So phone your doctor tell him/her whats gone on, and see when they think you should restart? It's a bit complicated because of how long you have been off of them. And you don't want it to mess you up too much. IF you aren't pregnant, just remember that if you miss the pill again, you should have back up like the morning after pill, or have your boyfriend always wear a condom - to cut out STD risks as well. Let me know what you doctor suggests OK? Good luck hon!

Hey thanks for the advice and all. I kind of already knew that but I just wanted to hear it from another person I guess. Unfornately, my doctor is closed today for the holiday like most places. I will have to call on Monday. I don't know if it is my mind or because I'm bleeding but all today on and off I have been having this weird feeling around my belly button. Kind of hard to describe...kind of hurt but doesn't...I don't know. And my lower right side of my back has been hurting especially when I move, but again that could be because I'm bleeding even though my back doesn't hurt when I am on my period or break through bleeding. I mean if I was, it wouldn't be the worse thing in the world you know what I mean. I'm turning 25 in September and my bf is 27. We been together for about 1 and a half years and living together for about 8 months and I already have a degree and everything. I don't we shall see. What if I do find my pill pack? Should I continue taking them until the end of the pack or since I missed so many should I just skip the rest?? Thanks again!! :-)

You just never know with pregnancy symptoms or hormonal changes - ie. from birth control pills. The best is to wait till Monday! Because if you think about it, when the heck are you supposed to start the old pack?!!! Right? So just hang tight, get a check up - ask for a blood test. Mention about the unprotected sex, and see what he says. Let me know OK? Good luck and health hon!

Well, I had called the doctors and talked to the nurse. They said that a lot of pharmices won't even give me another month because it is too soon, plus my insurance company is weird about prescriptions and stuff. Well the nurse told me wait until my next period and then start a new pack. I was thinking and this is kind of weird... my bf always said that he is going to have a kid when he turns 27 and he just turned 27 not even 2 weeks ago, which is when we had unprotected sex. lol it just weird that right around that I loose my pills and now I'm not going to be on birth control for the next month unless when I take a test next week it comes back positive, you know. Just a little weird. Who knows...we shall see!

Actually the first thing I thought when reading your post was that! NOT that you intentionally lost the pack, but subconsciously. IF you are pregnant, then you both decided to make his wish a reality!!! So don't take anything till your next period - just like the nurse said - and before that take a HPT test. So IF you are you wont be starting something that can damage the baby. I know it will be a while to go, but let me know what happens OK? Good luck and health hon!

Hey. Well, I figure I would let you know the status. I took a hpt this morning and it came up negative. So I guess I am not pregnant. I told my bf last week about what was going on and he wants to have a baby with me now. He thought up this whole, I guess you can say plan, about what we can start going to do and to save money and just everything. The weird thing I don't have a bad feeling about the whole situation if we did, you know what I mean and I always have bad feelings about things (doesn't mean I listen to them lol!!!!!) but with this I don't. I have the same feeling like when we asked me to move in with him last year and everything is working out great! I couldn't be happier!! Yea I was scared some yet excited and everything. So I guess I am saying that if it happens, it happens you know. Sorry to get a little a off topic but I can babble while typing. lol. Well, I will let know what happens within the next month. Thanks again for everything Bambi!

You're welcom hon, and good luck, actually it usually takes something - like perhaps being pregnant - for you to both start REALLY communicating and figuring out what you want out of life. Sure it is nerve racking, but as long as 75% of you is ready for this then ALL the best for you both. It is just a normal step in relationships, you are already living together/married, so it's either starting a family OR not! Or just sitting there and watching tv ;-) XD

Hi there inlove! I am so glad to hear that things worked out for the best and I'm glad now that your boyfriend wants to have children because that sounds like a greally good idea for you so long as you're ready for the responsibility! What kind of stuff are you planning on doing to get ready for a baby?
