Hi everyone!! I am new to this site and I had a quick question hopefully some of you could help me with an answer.

I have been on the pill for almost a year now (ortho-tri cyclen lo) do to a very hectic past couple of weeks, I missed 3 of my pills. My husband and I have been having unprotected sex because I figured it wasn't a big deal only missing a couple of them. I just finished my period about a week ago. Just today I noticed while going to the restroom that I had a pinkish watery discharge (no odor or itching or redness) I went online to health sites and it kind of sounds like it could be implantation bleeding. They say it is usually a light pink watery discharge. I was wondering, #1 can I get pregnant after just having my period a week ago? And #2 could I get pregnant by only missing 3 of my pills in the past 3 weeks??

Please right back asap

Most women are more likely to get pregnant between 11-14 days after their period, unless you are one of the few that ovulate during their period. In this case if you had sex during or right after your period you could be pregnant. Implantation bleeding usually occurs about a week or so after conception.
(light pink or dark brown-ish blood)

Thanks....

That is good to know, but I guess then I could have gotten pregnant before my period. I don't know, my body feels funny. I'm gassy, and feel bloated, and I had light pink discharge for about 2 days. I'm not really sure what that was about. My body has always been very normal when it comes to my cycle and I had never seen that before. I missed 3 of my pills in the last 2 weeks as well. Well, when do you think I should take a test? I know if you take it too early it won't show anything.

The test usually gives you clear results a couple of days after the time you are supposed to have your period. If you get a negative pregnancy test and you don't have your period yet but you are having pregnancy symptoms then wait about another week or so and take another test.

If that doesn't work then go to your doctor and ask for a blood test.
