Birth Control Question

I might just be worried for nothing... but I missed a bc pill last week... i'm not even sure what day... i just realized it saturday when i popped out the next pill and it was fridays pill.

so now i'm feeling all nauseated and icky. ive had sex a few times since then so should i go buy a pregnancy test? or is the nausea just some weird missed pill side effect?

I am going to say that the nausea is probably you freaking out about the possibility of getting pregnant. I have had a few scares and I get nausea every time because I am super nervous! Did you take the other pill or are you still a day behind? As far as I know, whenever you discover you have missed a pill your supposed to take that one and the one for your day in the same day.... I dont think I would freak out to much at this point. If you miss a period, then you might take a test.

Better safe than sorry dear. Take a test now just to be sure and then again at the end of the month if your period doesn't come. I'd say I'm sure you'll be fine but because of my experiance I'm a little suspicious of BC pills now.

I was on BC for over a year and got pregnant.... Took every pill, every day, same time.... Now I'm having a baby..... BF thinks he has Spartin Sperm and I think he may be right!

If you miss a pill and you have sex, there is chance that you could be pregnant.

Honestly, don't worry about it until after you missed your period.

There's a slight chance you could be pregnant, but if it's only been a week since you missed your pill, it's too soon to test. The soonest I ever got a positive was at 8 or 9 days past ovulation. I'd take some deep breaths and wait until your period is late to test.

missing one pill is nothing. especially since you only missed the one and obviously kept taking them after that as normal. youre just psyching urself out no worries

Don't double up on the pill as pp mentioned. Most product inserts make it clear that if you miss a pill, you've missed it, doubling up just gives you double hormones, it doesn't effect the previous days missed ones.

It's too soon for you to know that you are pregnant if you haven't missed your period yet. If you're only halfway through your cycle (day 13-16) and you were pregnant, the egg would not have even implanted yet, meaning no yucky make you feel sick hormones yet. If you're not used to midcycle spotting and notice some, then you might have an issue, but considering dr's say to wait 3 months for the hormones to clear out of your system before trying to get pregnant, one day missed shouldn't be too risky.

Keep in mind that after you miss a pill you should use alternate BC. On mine (seasonal) you have to wait the rest on the month, but o think some others are 7 days. Check the package or call your doctor.
