Q: Missed Week of Pills - Pregnant?
asked by: strulove on February 9th, 2007

Hey guys,
here is the general story. I was on a pill for about 3 months and was just starting to kinda get regular. The week before I was supposed to get my period I had some mild break through bleeding which I didn't think much of. Then the week I was supposed to get it - nothing. I of course was not taking my white pills that week in anticipation for my cycle and my husband and I had sex about 4 times that week. I have done several home tests and 1 blood tests and all negative. The problem is that is if got pregnant that week that I was not taking my pills I would not get a positive test result probably for a few weeks still. Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant? I have had severe menstral like cramps, nausea, dizzinies and fatigue, although it could very likely be from my body getting over the pill. My only option now is to wait and see if I get my period before I can take a new pill. Pls any advise on if I might be pregnant would be helpful?

Before I can accurately answer.. Did you miss your 'period pills", or did you miss the ''active pills"??

Many women will have breakthrough bleeding during pill use, where they may bleed the week before their actual "period". This is considered normal, and a woman should keep taking her pack of pills as usual. You should not stop taking the pill in the middle of the pack due to breakthorugh bleeding.

If you missed your "period pills", then it doesn't matter. They are inactive pills and you do not have to take them, they are more for reminder purposes.
