My period is late and I'm on birth control...HELP!!?!


Question: My period is late and I'm on birth control...HELP!!?
So my period is late and I don't feel like I'm starting anytime soon and I took all my inactive birth control pills and it never came. I just took a pregnancy test and it came up negative. Me and my fiance started having sex without condoms when I started taking the inactive pills. That was my first pack of pills. I just barely started birth control. Does anyone know what the problem could be?? Am I pregnant and it's not showing up or is my birth control messing me up???? Help Please!

Answers:

Honey, I know you are worried, but there is nothing you can do, at least for a few more days. At that point, you should take another home pregnancy test. Then, wait another couple of days beyond that, and if you still do not have your period, get a professional quality test from your doctor.

The chances are that you just skipped a period. That's unusual when a woman is on birth control pills, but it is not unheard of.

But yes, it is possible you are pregnant. The first month you are on the pills, your system is still adjusting, and the safest course is to continue back up contraception (like condoms) for that whole first month. But it's too late to start over, and the odds are still very much in your favor.

Take another test in a few days, then see a doctor. But as I said, you are probably okay. Try to relax (Yeah, I know. It's hard.) I wish you well.
