I was on the pill for like 4 months then I stopped, like a month ago I found a month packet left and I started again by myself. I used the pills like I should and then started having unprotected sex. When I got to the poin on my pills where I was saposed to have my period I didnt get it... I dont have any other pregnancy symptoms but the skipped period. Is it possible that I just skipped my period for sum reason? Or am I pregnany... Im so scared... (but I was on the pilll.....)

Hi there,

as you know the pill is not 100% effective, it is something like 97% - 99.9% effective, and some women do get pregnant using it. The fact that you stopped taking the pill for a month and then restarted it again, is probably why you missed a period. Your hormones would be a little unbalanced at the moment as it dosen't know whether to let your body or the pill regulate your periods. It will probably take a few months to get back into the swing of things, but to do that it is important to keep taking the pill regulalrly.

Good luck

It is just screwed up because of your pill.. Cramps in your lower ab. Means your period is coming soon...
