    Pregnant
    So I've been bad this month and have been not taking my pills as on schedule as I should be, and I had sex with this one guy that I liked stupidly because I have a boyfriend, and I also had sex with my boyfriend who isn't as potent as your average guy, what are the chances that I'm pregnant, I'm not really stressed but I just want to know what could be going on, I have had cramps in the middle of the month as well like I was going to get my period, could I still have cramps and have my period and still be pregnant

    Lots of women mistake bleeding in pregnancy for their period.

    You can get a blood test at your doctors.

    So I can be pregnant even though I think it's a period, how often does that happen,

    If you have not taken your pill correctly its quite common.

    If your bleeding now I would suggest to get a blood test from your doctor to confirm your not pregnant.

    Perhaps also you could ask your doctor about different methods of birth control,maybe something like the bar or injection,you won't have to worry about taking it everyday.

    Here is some information on the pill and its effectiveness when taken correctly.

    I think it's important for you to go to your DR and request a PT urine test and blood test. Second step would be to ask for leaflet on STD's. You need to value yourself a little higher than this and protect yourself against potentially deadly sexual transmitted diseases.
    Third be honest with your boyfriend that you had unprotected sexual contact with "this one guy" and allow him the opportunity to either stay with you or leave and use a condom in the future because you had sex with someone else and could pass something on to him that is not detected yet.
    How old are you?

    Like when I go visit my parents ill take the days of the pills out and take them with me, and when I forgot them ill leave them in there, and then I forgot a day at home and take the ones I had set aside and a different time, so I don't know if different weeks have different potency or anything

    "i know for a fact cause I just know aha"

    So, you performed the tests?

    Get real. You can't be 21 and actually believe this.

    If you can't take the pill the way you are supposed to, find another form of birth control.

    The pill is designed to be taken every day at the same time.

    Is you boyfriend aware that you are sleeping around on him? With your 'clean' friend?

    You are not ready to be a parent, please abstain from sex or seek out alternative birth control methods as you aren't handling the responsibility of the pill very well.

    Test and then close your legs.

    Also, don't repost your question, especially since it was already answered.

    Should this be reported as a duplicate posting or merged with the original thread?

    See your doctor. Tell him/her you misused your medication and get tested for pregnancy, sti's, std's and then go home and tell your boyfriend that you made a mistake and he should get tested to.

    Edit to add: Thank you to the person who merged the threads.

    Sure, they're not expensive, go ahead.

    Actually, you may want to buy them in bulk, seeing as you're not using your birth control effectively, it's only a matter of time until you get pregnant, so might as well stock up on pregnancy tests.

    Be sure to mention it is a mistake you don't appear to regret.

    NO one can tell you if you are pregnant or not on the internet.

    The only thing we can advise you to do is buy a pregnancy test, schedule a visit with your doctor, or go to a health clinic.

    If you had sex, then yes, you could be pregnant.

    First to re-hash a bit, no method of birth control is 100 percent, the pill is pretty good when used as it is suppose to be, if you can't take it right, get your doctor to go with another type

    But you should be using two forms, pills and a condom,
    Esp if you are with other people, you know it is always the "clean one" that seems to give people all the disease, since I bet they told the next girl the same story

    Perhaps someone needs to learn to keep her pants on and her legs closed.
