Hi All-

I use birth control but this past month I missed my pill a few times. I am sexually active but my boyfriend uses a condom faithfully everytime and he pulls out. I am having little cramps but I am a worrier and just wanted someone else's opinion about this situation if I should be worried or not. Thanks!

First of all...stop worring! Worring and stress can delay you period. How many times is a "few times" and are we talking in a row and what week? When was the last time you had sex, whenever it was, wait 2 weeks and then get a test if your period still has not come.

I would also set an alarm clock to remind you and carry your pills with you. I would also get in the habit of checking it before you go to bed everynight and before you and your boyfriend have sex each time. It honestly takes a few seconds.
