You could possibly be pregnant gurly,
especially if you are forgetting to take
the pill regularly. Doesn't it take 2
weeks for the pill to be reliable ? If
you are missing pills, you are definately
not protected at all. You will need to
wait and see if your period comes, and
test either with a home pregnancy test or
urine/blood test at your doctors. Don't
forget your pills, and use condoms until
you have been taking the pill for 2 weeks
solid.

Speaking as a woman who was on
ortho-novum, you need to use a backup
method if you missed more than two pills
in the first week. If you had
unprotected sex, you very well could get
pregnant by not taking the pills. You
should have received an information packet
with your pills. It tells you exactly
what to do if you miss any pills.
As for taking 2 weeks to be reliable, if
you have been on them for a time, and you
were just starting a new month's pack, you
are fine in that regard as long as you
didnt' miss any pills in your last active
week.
It is too early to tell if you are
pregnant now though. Wait until your
period is supposed to arrive, and go from
there.
As for a little advice-if you chose not to
take all the pills, make sure you use a
backup method.
