Hello. I am currently taking Ortho Lo birth control pills. I have been on them for about 3 1/2 yrs. A friend told me that I could skip my period if I skip the last week of pills in the pack and start the next pack. well my husband came home for his RnR from Afghanistan from june 1st to june 17th, and I decided to try this. But before this, i had missed 3 pills. I spotted lightly the whole two weeks he was home. We had intercourse every day and he ejaculated inside me every time. When it came time for my period, I thought that i would bleed heavy. But I only bled lightly for 2 days and was done. Now I have been feeling extremely tired along with hot flashes, headache, and nausea. Could I be pregnant?
