I have been on birth control pill for about 3months and last week when I was supposed to take placebo pills but instead I skipped them and started a new sheet. Now my period has been late by about 4days and Im starting to freak out if im pregnant or I just skipped a period. I have no spitting or bleeding whatsoever. Do I have a high chance of being pregnant?
Hi, I understand your concern.  You are on contraceptive pills for last 3 months. This month also you had taken the pills without any break... only thing is instead of taking the bland pills. your straight way started with active pills of new packs.... The placebo pills are meant for getting breakthrough bleeding (which we call menses). Between two packs. But by taking new pack again you have extended the hormonal effect for one more cycle. That's why you have skipped one menstruation.  Please don't worry, if you continue with the new pack regularly, your contraceptive protection would continue. And you will get bleeding next month while you take placebo pills for 7 days.  - In case you have some doubts, you can stop taking the pills now, wait for 8 days without any pills. You would get bleeding in these days. Now, you have to throw the pack you were taking & start with a new pack on 5th day again.  Thanks.
