Q: Period, Bc Question/ Preg. Test

Ok, I have another question! Embarassed

:d

i havn't taken my birth control in 4 days (forgot.. I know it wasnt right but still) so, does my body think im on the placebos? Bc I think I might be pregnant bc I havnt gotten my period, and dont have signs of it coming... When should I get my period and sould I finish the pack or just wait until next month? I know I cant have unprotected sex for about 2 months now.. But I really think I may be pregnant.. Ive also had some symptoms.. =(..

Usually when im on the placebo's my period comes no latter then the 3rd day.. It's been 4 days... Should I take a test, or wait to see if my period comes?

Ok lastly, what do you think is the best birth control to get.. Digital, a stick you dip in the cup of urine, or one that you just pee on? Does it make a difference? What brand do you think works the best? Sorry about all my questions... Just answer what you can if possible! Thanks!!

Ok first of all.. If you think that you're pregnant (and theres a good chance that you are) don't take any more pills. Wait for about another week before you take a test, just to see if anything does happen period wise (no more unprotected sex!!), however if you find that you can't wait that long make a doctors a appointment and get a blood test done so you will know !!For sure!! If you do wait for the home test, I don't think it really matters what you get, however some are more sensitive than others (such as you can take them up to 4 days before your period) this would be first response. Was you missing your pills a conscious thing? Or did you do it unintentionally.. If you forgot them that much you should have been put on something different, such as provera. One other thing, how old are you?

If you missed that many pills, then just wait until you have your period and start your new pack the sunday after your period. Otherwise, you will just confuse your system even more. If you think you may be pregnant, I would get a test done by the doctor. That way you will know for sure. Hpt don't work. (hardly ever)

No one seems to agree with me, but they are not very accurate. I have never in my life met a single women who got a correct result from a home pregnancy test. Unless she took three and one came out right, but I personally don't consider that to be very correct. Do what you want, but I personally would not waste the money.

Some work really well, but if you take it too early, then you may not get an accurate result. I've had pretty much 100% accuracy with ones i've done (ept and clear blue easy).
