Should I be worried?
Okay so this month I didn't realize but I didn't have a new pill pack so I have gone this month without my bc at all. Well on day 8 I had unprotected sex and didn't think anything about it. I know that if I skip a pill a few times a month that my period comes a week early... should I be worried about this?
That all depends on when your period was supposed to come. Usually around two weeks prior is when you have more chances of conceiving. Good luck. Take a test once you know you missed your period.
It depends...I am not trying to sound rude, but you are on here off and on with thoughts of ttc then waiting, then all these pregnancy questions about specifics such as how soon after birth do you lose weight because your fiance wants to know...if you are not ttc, I am confused as to why you spend so much of your time focused on ttc, pregnancy etc. On day 8, which would be a couple days after your period (day one being day one of bleeding...most people have a cycle of about 5 days give or take) and therefore you probably wouldn't have been close enough to ovulation. Skipping the pills however will probably cause you to have one of two things happen...break through bleeding/spotting BEFORE expected period and or a late period or a weird period. When you are on the pill, your body is not orchestrating the period, the pills are. You are not having a true medical period when on the pill, the pill's hormones, not yours are causing it. Now that your body is missing the hormones there is no telling what it will do. Even at that, the average woman only has like a 20-30% chance of conceiving each cycle when ttc around ovulation.
If you are worried about anything, I would worry about what this month of no pills is going to do to your body and your cycle as opposed to whether or not you are going to get pregnant or not. However, I am still confused as to why you say you are not ttc then go and skip pills and have unprotected sex and then want to know if you should be nervous.
I have been quiet about this for awhile, I am sorry but I had to put my questions out there. I hope that I have also given you some answers to your question as well.

I am going to continue to say this... I am NOT trying to get pregnant, I don't want to be pregnant anytime soon! I want to be able to afford a child and can do so in 2 years so why the heck would I do it now and live in a **** hole and not be able to buy my child anything... yeah that isn't me! I grew up with everything I wanted and will give nothing less to my children! I asked about the weight thing simply because my best friend is 34 weeks pregnant and we were talking about her and how much she has gained and my fiance asked how much do you lose after giving birth... I didn't know the answer so that is why I asked! Why everyone seems to think everyone else has a hidden agenda I have no idea. And it was 8 days since my period. I need to get my pap before I can get a new perscription for my bc and I didn't realize I was completly out. So NO I am not wanting a child, not anytime soon... life right now is perfect without one!
I will just tell you that I was on birth control and the same thing happened to me. My persciption ran out without me thinking about it before. I had to wait to go to the drs to get a new perscription. Well I had unprotected sex right around the middle of my cycle and I didn't even think about getting pregnant at all and I did. I found out 3 days after my next period was due. I was excited and happy about it but it was really unexpected since I had unprotected sex for about 6 months of my relationship before going on birth control! I went on...then ran out and got pregnant. Its possible that you are but since it was so early in yuor cycle you probably won't. Good luck and I hope you get the results you're lookin for!
yes, you should be concerned. if you truly don't want to get pregnant now, you need to find an alternate form of birthcontrol. if you can actually forget an entire pack's worth of pills, and have unprotected sex, then you shouldn't be on the pill. and you make it clear that you know what happens when you skip several pills, indicating that you are not good at taking them. sorry- my thoughts were exactly the same as sweetangle and johannaviles. how on earth could one not think that when all you post about is baby-related products and pregnancy questions. then you post claiming to have forgotten to take an entire pack of pills?
Well you opinion is yours... I have a best friend that is 34 weeks pregnant that is why I have questions... take it or leave it! I didn't "forget" and entire pill pack! I didn't realize I was out of a new pack until the night I needed it and my doctor has been on vacation since christmas so I had no way of getting another perscription! I didn't expect to have sex unprotected... it just happened and he didn't finish. I've only forgoten pills 3 months and they were taken the following day and only when I started taking the pill.
This post in the relationship community only adds to why several of us are confused about you:

So I'm sure most of you who will read this have followed my posts... and I know there will be some interesting comments on this but I need some input! I have a really good friend that I have known for 5 years and have had feelings for, for that long. He was my first pretty much everything and we have always been close. He left 2 1/2 years ago for Iraq with the army and I finally got to see him for the first time since this last week. Well no surpise but the feelings are still there... the attraction is still there and if anything else the feelings have grown. My heart was racing and my stomach had butterflies the second I saw him again... My faince and I have been having issues on and off for a year and the last 2 weeks have been hell! Things already weren't going so well when my friend got here. Well there is a group of friends that have been friends since high school and we get together a lot (im the only girl in the group). Well this friend from Iraq is part of it and my fiance and I are both part of this group both individualy and together so it's complicated. Well while my friend was here things happened and I couldn't stop the attraction and my fiance and I were yelling at eachother and i was just not happy! My friend and I started out just making out... then we ended up having sex. The horrible thing is I feel so bad about doing it but I know that if it were to happen again I would allow it! The next night my friend and I talked a lot and he kept kissing me and I never stopped any of it. I love my fiance so much and that is why I can't tell him and that is why I can't seem to leave him. I have tried but then he brings up the baby and brings up everythign we have been through and I can't get myself to walk away. I live with him, have 2 dogs with him... how can i just leave all of that and not worry about it? He means so much to me but I am not happy more often than I am! I have talked everything over with my friend and he actually just went back to where he is based a few days ago. He wants to be with me but right now we can't be because our friends will get upset and feel bad for my fiance. We could wait a few months and then date and everything would be okay. I can't just up and leave him, he did nothing wrong! My feelings and emotions are all over the place and I have no idea what to think!
Now you are sleeping with someone other than your fiance?

I did once and that is why I asked this question... But that other post says no where that I want kids now... actually that's the last thing I want right now! I am too confused to even worry about that.
Then the big question is, why do you keep posting in a pregnancy forum and keep asking pregnancy related questions.
If u dont want to get pregnant then why did you have unprotected sex? Did the doctor not explain to you that if you miss a pill or stop taking them alltogether then you are not protected against pregnancy? I know in the heat of the moment you can forget things but you should be more careful next time! Always make sure u have condoms just incase this happens again!
cminamyer~ That isn't "the big question" look at what I have said and continue to say. My best friend is 34 weeks pregnant... why wouldn't I have pregnancy questions?
kerriekab~ Thank you for being respectful!
kerriekab~ Thank you for being respectful!
I did not read this whole thing word for word, but is the unprotected sex on day #8 with Iraq/friend or with David? THAT might be the "big" question...
It does seem to me that subconsciously you ARE trying to get PG, confirmed by the unprotected sex near ov time after forgetting a whole pack of pills.

K - usually doctors offices have message services or another doctor who is on staff just in case someone needs an emergency prescription or needs to be seen urgently. I find it odd that your doctor had been gone and you weren't able to get your pills refilled.
Grammy~ It was with my friend from Iraq... and day 8 isn't near ovulation and in the heat of the moment I really didn't even think about it!
You have been on this PREGNACY forum asking pregnancy related questions for weeks. There have been women on here talking about being, getting or trying to get pregnant. You should know if you should be worried if you had unprotected sex on cd8 you've been on this site long enough to know, and to know better if you really aren't trying to get pregnant.
Here is some confusion I think people are having, so clarify:
If you are referring to 8 days AFTER your period ENDED, then it would be around ovulation time, since the first day of your cycle starts the first day of your period.
If you are referring to 8 days AFTER your period STARTED, then unless you ovulated the chances are slim.
However, in any of these cases, like others said, stopping the pill can screw your cycle up and it is hard to determine if your "period" was an actual period or just some spotting. I know you didn't stop the pill on purpose, but when I did intentionally stop the pill my "period" was all screwed up. Soooo it's really hard to say if you could have gotten pregnant by that one incident, but before starting the pill again you should take a test to be sure.

geez... if the girl wants to get pregnant thats her business.. and if she doesn't once again her business... why don't we stick to the orignal question.. to answer your question:
ANYTIME YOU HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX YOU CAN GET PREGNANT.. I REPEAT ANYTIME YOU HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX YOU CAN GET PREGNANT.
only way you will know is wait at least 19 days since the day u had sex and test.. if you are pregnant it should be positive by then.

If you mean CD8, it def could be near O for some. As stated by one of the MDs on this forum, your most fertile days are the 3 days prior to O and the day of O, so, for some, that could be just...about....right.....
Well he didn't really finish but he did have a lot of precum... I don't think I should be worried about it. It was 8 days after my period ended.
she stated that when she skips pills, her period comes a week early. with a 3 week cycle, day 8 is definitely O time.
