Okay, i've asked you all a similar question a few days ago.. But now theres more to it than I thought. I started a new pack of ortho tri cyclen lo about 2 weeks ago.. I take my pills around 10 am very day, I missed my first pill of the pack and started wth the second pill. I finished the 1st set of white active pills and took one light blue active pill the next day, then went out of town and left my birth control behind on accident. It was 2 days before I could go get them. So I missed the second 2 light blue pills. Yesterday when I got the pills back, around 7pm I took the 2 pills I missed and i'll be taking 2 pills today to catch back up. My question is... My hubby and I slept together the past 3 nights, usually he pulls out if ive missed pills (we dont use another kind of birth control because he hates condoms and we believe if I get pregnant it was meant to be anyway) but last night he didnt pull out. I dont know if I ovulated because of this..How likely is it that i'll be pregnant? What time should I take the 2 pills today? When is the soonest I can test? Thanks guys!

More..

I dont know if this has anything to do with missing the pills or anything.. And I may just have a virus but the past 2 days i've had very light abdomen cramps, and i'm usually freezing all the time but i've been sweating like crazy, and very tired .

Pregnancy is not immediate.

It takes 6-13 days from sex to be pregnant..The egg has to impalnt first.

By missing 2 pills you were at risk, highly!!!

What you need to do when you miss 2 pills is take them as soon as you remember, even if it means doubling up, and use a back up for 7 days.

You would not show pregnancy signs so soon.
