Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. hmmmmm...is right. First things first, have you taken a pregnancy test? That would be the surest way of knowing if you are pregnant or not. You may want to give your doctor or clinic a call and tell them what happened. They are most familiar with your personal health history and could best advise you on what to do next.
In the future, try to be extra diligent about taking your pills regularly. And you also may want to use a backup method of birth control (condom, spermicide or withdrawal method), especially in case you forget to take your pill, so you can avoid any anxiety about getting pregnant.
Good luck! And let us know what you find out and how you are doing.
