Hey this a for a friend.

Shes been on the pill for 2 months now... Jus finished her 2nd month.

She missed about 6 maybe 7 or 8 pills during the month. She didn't miss them all at once.

She had sex on the 11th oct.. With no condom and she took her pill at the right time that nite.

Her last period was the 2nd of october and her next one shud be the 30th

since the 24th she has had sore boobs peeing alot af like cramps that come and go. She has now gets a sharp pain on her right side that comes and goes that lasts less than 2 mins. She has also got headaches, she threw up once on the morning of the 25th. She also had a streak of brown discharge on her underwear today.

Well seeing as how the leaflet in the pack tells you to make sure you take the pills as presribed then yes she is at a high risk of pregnancy.

If she isn't competent enough to take them maybe she should avoid having sex.

One missed pill is an accident - 6-8 missed pills is stupid carelessness.

The symptoms could be pregnancy or they could be her body being totally screwed from the inconsistent birth control.

Tell her the same answer everyone gets

see a doctor either way because:
*if she is pregnant she needs to arrange pre-natal care
or
*if she isn't pregnant she needs to sort out birth control to prevent his happening again
