I'm having the same problem.. Except mine have been really light..

What kind of bc are you on? How long have you been on it?

I'm on orth tri-cyclen, have been for about 5 years now. But I just think my bodies hormone levels have changed.

I'd just take a test after your period ends to rule out the pregnancy factor. Take an early response one like clear blue easy or first response. They can detect pregnancy with hcg levels as low as 25.

I have been on the pill for 8 years now. Pretty much take it on time but miss a pill here and there. I am married now so taking them on time is not as important because we would welcome a baby. I missed 4 pills in a row, then had sex. What are the odds of getting pregnant? Does your body need to time to readjust before you can get pregant after being on the pill so long? Anyone know? Thanks! :?

If you've been on the pill for 8 years, then you shouldn't be pregnant. After 8 years, you should have been protected for those 4 days that you forgot the pill. That's just what i've heard.

X0x-andrea...Thanks for the info! I hear so many different things about missing pills. They just try to scare you I think by making a big deal about missing a pill, or they do it to save their butts from lawsuits! Thanks again!
