Q: 

On BC pills, but I fear I might be pregnant?

Hello

I take Orsythia birth control at the same time every day. I may only miss it by an hour, 2 at most. But that was only once during the month and no where near any time I was sexually active.
I had sex with my boyfriend without a condom on the 15th day of my cycle, June7th.
I then had sex again without a condom, yesterday June 19th, which was the 28th day of my cycle, the day I should have gotten my period because I missed the last pill of my pack and I read the instructions and it said to just throw my pack out, so I SHOULD have gotten it on Tuesday the 19th instead of my usual day which is on a Wednesday.

I do have lower back cramps but no breast tenderness this time around? Which I usually do have.
And my periods are pretty regular, although in April I did skip the last 3 pills of my pack to get my period early in fear that I was pregnant.
In May, my period was regular and came on my projected day of Wednesday.

Am I just freaking my own self out? Could the missing of a pill be throwing my body off just a little? Or should I wait one more day because I still do have the cramping in my back?

Hi Anonymous,

Please allow another few days to get your period. Your period can sometimes also be delayed due to stress.

If you're more than 1 week late, take a pregnancy test.

Best Wishes,

Rosa
