I am on the bcp- yasmin. I missed my pill on tues. And that following wed., but I also had unprotected sex that wed.,this was the 15th and 16th day of my cycle (of a 28 day cycle). I realized that thursday and got back on track w/ my pills, but since then, when I urinate and wipe there has been some light bleeding. I am also having some pains in my lower abdomen. Im not quite sure what this means, if it even means anything, but it does have me concerned so I hope someone can help me :?

Now on a normal cycle, ovulation is usually around day 14, so you would be more likely to become pregnant espically since you missed 2 pills! It could be implantation bleeding if you are pregnant, but that again it can just be normal spotting from whatever before you period. Or since you missed 2 pills it kind of messed up the cycle and made you spot a bit. If you have trouble remembering your bc you could always switch to the patch or the shot that way you cant forget!

Good luck!

Thanks for replying so quick. I actually was on the patch, but I got off of it b/c it made me sick to my stomach, I have also heard bad things about the shot. It really isnt so much that I cant remember to take my pill, I guess I just have had a lot on my mind lately. Its just wierd b/c I have missed pills b4 in the months that I have been taking them, but I have never spotted at all since I have been having a period.

If this spotting is unusual, then you might be pregnant, especialy since it was near day 14. I'd get checked just in case, to set your mind at ease.

Well my period is suppose to start the 6th, and yesterday the "spotting" was more a brownish discharge, b4 it was more just a pinkish color. Also since yesterday I have been feeling exhausted. I went to bed at like 8 which is very unusual for me, but I kept waking up throughout the night, but having this same feeling if exhaustion.

Well I went to the doctor today and the urine test came back negative and my doctor thought I was just on my regular period. She also did a blood test just to be sure, but when I called for the results, they came back positive! So looks like i'll be expecting a little one sometimes in may!
