Hello, i'm kinda new on here ...My story is that i'm on the pill and have been for like 3 years now well i've always started on the same day forever no matter if it's morning or night well in nov. My period was 4 days late in dec. It was 2 days and this month is was 1 day and with the pill it makes you have your period and this period isn't what I call "normal" you would think okay I started later then I should go the whole cycle well it's not i've started late and it will only last 2 or 3 days and it's not heavy like I thought it to be and in dec. I messup up my pill like one day taken it at 9 a.M. And one day 3 p.M. Not on prepose just with christmas and everything; everything was just busy. ..My question is could I be pregnant even though i've had my periods Question ..This month i've have felt so fat and have been eatting a lot but then after I eat I kinda fell sick and i've been so tired and I know i've gained weight b/c my pants are tight..My annual check-up is in two weeks should I wait intill then or what...Because i've heard and read that if you keep on the pill while pregnant you have the chance on the baby having a 10-20% defect on the baby.. Question please help...

Cant Give U Much Advice
I cant give u much advice as im not really sure but what I do know from my own experience so it might not be true. U r suppose to take the pill at the same time everyday so ur body gets use to ingesting the hormones I think at a certain (im not sure as to the validity of this statement) but I have been on the pill 12 years and I have never taken it at the same time in the day I always take it at night before I go to bed, so im not sure if not taking it at the same time reduces or increases ur chances of pregnancy.

How old are u, has there been any recent changes in ur life that caused your cycle to go weird, any unusual amount of stress anything like that. Also if u are still developing it could be that as u get older ur body still changes and it could just be going thru normal changes, only u know ur body, if u are that concerned mayb u should take a test or see ur doc to put ur mind at rest
