    Could I be Pregnant?
    So I'm 17,
    I've been sexually active for a number of years (since I was 14)
    And I've been on the pill since I was 13 because I have endometriosis
    I changed my pill when I was 16 to normin or something and now am on a different normin pill.
    I'm not strict with my pill, but I've been taking it every day for around 2 years without a break, the other day (a month or so ago) I skipped two pills and had unprotected sex and didn't have the pill the next day, then I started getting what looked like a redish discharged which stopped in a day.
    I've continued taking my pill but I've got stomach pains, sore breasts, and I feel sick after I eat.
    I know that if you stress too much you can cause a hysterical pregnancy, but I don't want to by a test because I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant but is there a chance I could be at all?

    Yes there is always a chance of pregnancy when you have sex, the pill is not 100% effective and because you skipped some, you highered your risk, you need to test.

    You have increased your risk of pregnancy by skipping pills and not taking them at exactly the same time every day.

    Have you missed a period yet? If so, test using first morning urine.

    Please don't use the comments feature to respond. Scroll down to the answer box instead.

    Now then, take a pregnancy test using first morning urine. No form of birth control is 100% effective and you increased your risks by not taking the pill as directed.

    I can't give you an exact percentage, you are just going to have to bite the bullet and take a test.

    What the most accurate home pregnancy test?

    They are all accurate if you follow the directions, particularly when it comes to the time limit in which to read the results. Just make sure to use first morning urine as it has a higher concentration of the pregnancy hormone should you be pregnant.
