Hi 12.14.08,
I'm not sure why you stopped taking birth control. When your pills get "messed up," you can throw away the pack and start a new one--be extra diligent about remembering to take your pills, and use a back-up method of birth control to ensure you won't put yourself at unnecessary risk.

Try to relax with those symptoms and don't over-analyze, as Missy said. I know it can be nerve-wracking, but you always can take a pregnancy test to verify if you're simply missing your period (it's late), or if you're pregnant.
Take care.
