What's going on with my body, could I be pregnant? I'm 18 years old, and currently on orth tri cyclen lo for pimary dysmenorrhea(bad period cramps). Ive been on it since June of 2010. I recently went on vacation with my boyfriend, and I skipped 3 birth control pills cause I forgot to pack them with me. I had unprotected sex on Feb. 6th 2011 and he didn't pull out. I haven't taken a pill yet. Feb 7th, I was at work and I was cramping a lot, and I started to bleed. The cramping went away, but It's like my period came early. I wasn't supposed to get it until Feb 21st. It lasted 2 days, then stopped, and today it started again but I can tell it's going to stop. I know chances are huge when you miss a pill. What's going on with my body, I doubt I'm pregnant, but it's possible right? I don't mind if I am I just want to know your opinions.

It's possible, but it could also be your body reacting to being off schedule with the pills and the recent sex. You wouldn't be able to tell this soon if you were pregnant as IF you did happen to conceive, it takes several days for the egg to move to the uterus and for implantation to take place.

I would use an alternative form of birth control until you get started back on a regular schedule with your pills. See what happens when you would normally expect your period and then test at that time if necessary.
