Last month I took an extra 7 days of my pill to delay my period for this month. I also missed a pill during those 5 weeks which was in the 4th-5th week of taking my pill. I was at the end of my period when me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex, but I had a few extra days of spotting due to the change in pill routine and menstrual cycle.
The day we had unprotected sex was the 26th of march, I was due to start my next pill the 28th of march.

This month I stopped taking my pill last Thursday 17th April (aaand I'm just after realising now, that I missed last fridays pill!! ) I am in my 4th day of my pill break and no sign of my period. I had a tiny amount of light pink discharge earlier, but everything else seems fine.

Just to note, the night my boyfriend and I didn't use a condom was the only time ever we didn't use a condom. Even in the last few weeks we always used something because we don't really trust the pill (or my reliability in taking it!). I was at the end of my period when we did this. I'm very impatient about this and I know stress can delay a period too.

Can anyone relate to this situation??

As you guess... pregnancy is a possibility... but its too soon to know either way. You need to be at least 2 weeks late for your period before its time to test.

You could take your pills the same exact time every day , without ever missing one....and still have a chance to get pregnant.....making mistakes only makes it more likely.

I know two women on this site who have gotten pregnant while using the pill and two other forms of birth control correctly all at the same time.....one of them a obstetrics nurse....had it happen twice.

I am on day 6 of my pill break. I hadn't gotten my period within five days of my break, I was starting to think I may have fallen pregnant (I even asked a question on this forum the other day! )

I got my period last night! It came so late because of all the changes I did with the pill. And honestly I'm pretty disappointed. My boyfriend was pretty glad though haha. But me, I was kind of hoping I wouldnt get my period.

I'm not really in a position at all to have a baby, I'm a 28 year old student in college for a degree with exams coming up, I am planning a volunteering trip in africa over the summer, but I would happily give it all up if I found out I was having a baby!

Am I crazy??

I know there's a LOT more to a baby than cuteness and cuddliness, like financial aspects and my own mental preparation, but to be honest, I believe I am mentally prepared.

I can't talk to anyone about this because my mother and my best friend would think I'm crazy! And I imagine my boyfriend would be kind of freaked out if I told him I wanted a baby, we haven't even gone near any conversations about marriage (even though I would in a heartbeat!)

I have been pretty down about it since last night, to the point I can't concentrate on studying, its constantly on my mind! And was wondering if anyone could relate to me on this??

I know hundreds of thousands of couples are trying to conceive and many end up disappointed, but this is different because I'm not tryng for a baby. I have always taken fairly good precaution in avoiding pregnancy, and pregnancy scares used to actually scare me, but this time, the "scare" excited me!

Thanks in advance

Be thankful you aren't... get married first... a child needs stability in its life and a string of men before you find the right one isn't going to help its emotional development. Most people spend more time thinking about buying a car than you have about a baby.
