Q: It's Me Again With More Freak-outs Concering Ortho-lo

Okay, so, when my cycle started, I took the first 2 pills fine. My cycle starts on monday. Then wednesday I accidentally didn't take the pill till 5 pm (i normally take them between 10-12 am) on accident, then thursday I took it fine, then friday again I was late, took it at around 5 pm again. I had sex, unprotected, friday night. Then, later in this month, I was late on taking the pill and it didn't get taken until 2 pm. This was this last saturday. I didn't have sex until sunday night.

All other times I have taken the pill when I should, between 10-12 am. I am on the last week of active pills before the placebos. I started this last week of active pills on monday.

However, I felt what I normally classify as "pre-cramps" '(monday. Pre-cramps kinda feel like cramps, but there isn't any real pain, it's just a tightness in my lower abdomen. They often happen a day or two before my actual period. However, it might just be that it's gotten colder in the past few days, and when I shiver and curl up in chairs I can sometimes cause myself pain that is similar to pre-cramps... I'm still worried...

What do you all think? I'm obviously wondering if there's a high chance i'm pregnant. As I type this, i'd reply to my own query with "no, but go get checked if you're worried!" if I weren't already the one asking!!

Theres always a chance that you are pregnant if you don't take your pills right, but I do the same thing and I haven't got pregnant like that. If you are having a hard time taking your pills at the normal time maybe you should start taking them either when you brush your teeth in the morning or at some other scheduled time. I find that if I take them at bed I take them within 2 hours of each other everynight. However I am a mom and I have a family so my life and schedule are pretty set. If you go out a lot you may find that taking them in morning is best for you. Once I started taking my pills so irregular that I even had 2 to 3 periods a month. Or I may feel like I am about to start but never do. When your body is with out the normal routine sometimes you can fool yourself into thinking your period is about to start. That could of happened with you. However, if you get anymore symptoms take a pregnancy test.
