    You need to take a pregnancy test to put your mind at ease.

    I am only 15 & no one knows that I am sexually active...
    I was origanally put on them to shorten my periods and clear my acne
    How could I possibly get one?

    Get a pregnancy test? From Wal-Mart - they sell over the counter and are available many places. Are you sure you are taking your birth control as prescribed? Daily, at the same time, not skipping pills or times?

    Shy has some good points. You must take it every day at the same time for them to be effecitve. Also, some antibiotics lessen the effectiveness.

    (my doctors nor parents know im sexually active)
    I take them every night @ 10.
    I haven't missed any pills!
    (I have an alarm set)
    I have been sick with strep and I was taking medication for it but I was sexually active before I started taking the medication!
    I have just recently gotten off the medication but I am still taking the pills!

    Then go to Wal-Mart or Target or whatever store you wish and look for an Early Pregnancy Detection Kit. There are many kinds out there. Your parents are going to find out sooner or later than you are sexually active. Perhaps you should be honest with them now before your worst fears are confirmed someday.

    It is possible that you are pregnant since you were taking antibiotics and many antibiotics case the pill to be less effective.

    You can buy a pregnancy test at wal mart for about 7 dollars (if you are in the US)

    Withdrawal is not a form of birth control and you can still get pregnant if he does pull out in time.

    The "Withdrawl Method" has created many a baby. I do hope, for your sake, that you are not pregnant. You are far too young to handle the consequences and resulting responsibilities.

    I hope to god I'm not...
    This is the LAST time I do that again!

    I' just extremely nervous and the only possible time for me to get one is this Friday =(

    Hun, you have to undestand that birth control is not birth prevention, some women even get pregnant on the pill. The only 100% way that you will not get pregnant is abstinence.

    I know!
    I wasn't intending on using it as birth control
    It just happened!

    Whew, blow a big sigh of relief, and just remember what can and does happen. I have 2 boys that I got pregnant with on the pill.

    Good news for you! Quite a scare for you though. Take care of yourself.
