i missed 2 pills 5 days after my period. in the time of me missing thise pills i had unprotected sex. can i be pregnant?

yes, i took all 3 pills at the same time and started bleeding with in 20 mins after the pills had dissolved. i am still bleeding as we speak. i am still on the same pack of pills also. do i still need to throw the pills away? well back in 2003 when i got pregnant i had just tunred 15 and was still in school, so my mom made the decsion for me to not have it, which i regret from this day. I DO want kids some day, but i want to be financially stable before i take on the challenge of a new life. so i can buy it what ever it needs/wants.
i am also still having the same symptoms as i was last week. could i possibly be pregnant? i am supposed to be starting my period in two weeks, but now that i am bleeding like i am on my period, will i even have a period? should i take a Preg. test? what are some things i need to know?

From what you describe, it sounds unlikely that you would be pregnant. You just missed 2 pills, correct? And, instead of "doubling-up" like the instructions tell you to, you took 3 pills in one day. (wow!) That would explain cramping, soreness, spotting, nausea. Week 1 is the worst time to miss pills, however, as you have been "hormone-free" for the previous 7 days. A quick call to your doctor's office wouldn't hurt to ask for their recommendation. You would not know if you are pregnant until a missed period.

For future:
Do you have an extra copy of the instructions that came with your birth control pills? It sounds like it is VERY important that you discuss these instructions step-by-step with one of the nurses at your doctor's office. I know---they do not take much time to go over the instructions, and it is important to advocate for yourself and have them take the time. Also, you can ask if their is a Patient Health Educator who can demonstrate how to take the pills consistently and correctly every time. Do you have a Planned Parenthood near you? They would be able to help, as you have already experienced one pregnancy, and sounds like you do not want to be pregnant again. Please learn every step and "trouble-shooting" step to take if you miss a pill. Never do you take 3 at a time; you can take 2 one day, then 2 the next day. If you miss 3 in a row, you typically throw out the pack and start a new one. Again....ask a Health Professional to walk through this with you.

so if i am pregnant...do i stop take my birth control now? or do i wait to stop taking it untill i find out for sure if i am or not? so lets say for futire reference, i happen to miss another 2 pills, (hopefully it will never happen again) do not triple up...? do i start a new pack in the day i usually start a new pack?
my boobs are more sore now, then when i am menstrating. i am very emotional & moody,
is there something i can do so my boobs aren't as sore?

Dear Anon,

Yes, there is a possibility you may be pregnant, however, you will not be likely to find out until you are late on your period. If you're late, take a pregnancy test.

Birth control pills are very strong pills with adverse reactions and side effects. Once you have missed more than 2 days, you should not "triple up". At that point you just continue your pack regularly while using an additional form of protection (such as condoms).

Good Luck
