Ive been on the pill for 11 months now and regularly having sex using the pill as my only contraception. 2 months ago I missed 1 or 2 pills and (though Im not sure of the timeline exactly) soon after I had sex without any other protection. I never got my period that month (though there might have been some sort of spotting once on 1 day; my memory is sketchy). I took a pregnancy test a few days after I thought I should probably get my period, and it came up negative. The second month I skipped my period there was no spotting, but on 1 day for part of the day I got cramps like I was going to. Im not throwing up or have any extremely obvious symptoms of pregnancy. How likely is it that Im pregnant?
Hi, Thanks for writing in to us. If you have missed more than two pills on an earlier cycle then the contraceptive action of the pill cannot be guaranteed to work for the remaining part of the cycle. In that situation, you must use a barrier like a condom with your partner for protection. Talking about your sketchy memory, faint spotting and negative pregnancy test, the home pregnancy test usually gives 95% accurate results 15 days after probable unprotected sex. In the earliest stages of pregnancy tests can be negative. As you are in your ?second month of missed period, please get pregnancy test done and consult your gynecologist. If pregnancy test is negative, then also you should talk to your doctor for possible reasons and further guidance. Hope this helps
