Late Period

I have been on birth control for a long while now, and I have had regular periods a throughout. (as soon as I take the inactive pill, I start my period within 2 days). I take my pills within the same half hour every day, and I have recently finished my inactive pills and I still have no period. I have been extremely tired and worn out lately, I crave food all day, I get occasional nausea and dizziness, and stuff like that. Could I be pregnant?

other symptoms include breast tenderness and lower back pain.

you could be, are you on a low dose birth control? well anyway the pill does have that 1% chance of getting prego on it, have you taken any antibiotics lately that can affect it too... i would take a prego test in the AM with your first pee (most concentrated) to see what it says, if nothing still shows up(period) you could see what the Dr has to say, either if you should start the next month of pills or what? good luck!

Ps a friend of mine was on Alesse(low dose BC) and she got prego, aborted it... then got prego AGAIN on it and kept the baby..she was taking properly too

no, I'm not on any antibiotics. in fact, the only medication I've taken in the last 6 months has been birth control and an occasional Tylenol for the migranes (migraines) I've been getting lately. my birth control is the generic for loestrin fe 1/20

i dont know that BCs facts but i would say to talk to a Dr cause if you by chance are pregnant you shouldnt start back on the pills... try a home pregnancy test first to see what it has to say...
