Ty Maryann for your response!

i did call my gyno yesterday. He said i could take plan b, but he had concerns about the timing (it's been three days now four). indeed, in hindsight,a condom would've been appropriate, but i didn't discover my mistake until after i returned home. :( my gyno said the same as you did. he added that i had not been on them long enough this cycle to induce the thickened ueterine lining. i took my Saturday pill as normal, and discovered i should've doubled up that night and the next. again, information much too late :/. i suppose I'll have to wait. Doctor said to finish pack. is that correct?

again, thank you.
I'm feeling miserably stupid.

Hi Anonymous,

No need to feel stupid. I am sure you will not forget this and will never miss a pill again:) We can only learn from our mistakes.

Yes, follow your doctor's instructions to finish the pack.

6dpo if I'm right about Sunday. I've been googling (i know, bad idea). I'm nit feeling very confident. 24 hrs I've felt insanely sore breasted, cramping like menstrual but not anywhere near as painful, and increased, creamy, odorless discharge. last night i had a hard time getting to sleep...i want to say i was nauseious, but i never felt sick...just queezy. this afternoon,i developed several pimples on my chin (i can't tell you how long it's been since I've had a zit). I'm aware those symptoms can be pms related, but i don't recall ever having them this early. normally, my menses starts 4 days into my placebo pills so I'm 12 days away from a period and send way too soon, but idk :/any advice as to anything else i should be watching for? i was over two months pregnant with my son before i knew because i had NO symptoms, so this is all new to me :/ sorry if I sound ridiculous!

HI I have a question. I've been on the pill for 6 years, and am very good at taking it. I haven't missed a pill in months, and take it within the same hour or two every night. I had unprotected sex on the 14th day, and I was told you in fact do ovulate on the pill. I haven't had sex in awhile, and had spotting for a few days after. I then had cramping for 5 days. I'm supposed to get my period in 3 days. What are the chances that my cramps are due to being pregnant?

Hi I have taken my pills for about 3 weeks today. Unfortunately I was late in taking them for a few hours on the early part of my 2nd week for two consecutive days. I have taken them as soon as I remembered which is both less than 24 hours for 2 days. I had unprotected sex 4 days after this incident. Is there a possibility of pregnancy? Thanks.

I am 22 years old. I missed the first week of pills because I was late picking it up from the pharmacy. I had unprotected sex and took one pill the night of. I haven't taken any since then.. I started spotting/bleeding exactly a week before I was meant to get my period For about 2-days.. I thought it was my period but they have never been that short.. Can I be pregnant?

Hi. I've been off the pill for about 3 months now. My period is now 8 days late. On day 6 I took a pregnancy test it was negative. I am having pregnancy symptoms. It is possible I am pregnant and taking test too soon?
