ortho tri-cyclen

I have been on this birth control pill for just about a year and a half, to regulate my cycle.  Well now my cycle is not being regulated very well. In the begining of March I got my period like normal but couldn't afford my new pill pack so i deciced to just skip it.  Through out that month i did have sex with my fiance numerous times. In the begining of April my period ended up being six days late.  When it did start i got back on my pills and have tried to remember to take them when i am supposed to.  Tweleve days after the last day of my period i had brownish pink gooie discharge for three days, I had sex with my fiance I think two or three times from the last day of my period until the brownish pink dicharge.  Four after that the discharge came back.  My fiance and I had sex on the second after the discharge stopped the first time.  So one day after the second discharge stopped I started having light light bleeding only in the mornings that has lasted four days now.  So for what i figure about my cycle I am not due for my period until this weekend or monday.  do you think that i am experiencing this b/c of the missed pill pack?  or maybe i am pregnant or both? so I have been craving bacon and pancakes lately( i dislike breakfast food noramlly) I either want to eat everything or nothing at all.  and the past two days i have visited the restroom about one hundred times ( about two times every hour).  oh i should let you know that my fiance and i use the withdrawl (withdrawal) method which i recently discoverd is not a good method.
thank you

No one here can tell you if you are pregnant or not.  As I said earlier, go to the doctor and get a blood test.  They are much more sensitive, and if you recently conceived, it should show up. Get the uncertainty over with.

Then find a pill you can live with, and take it regularly.  if you miss more than 1, you MUST use back up (such as foam and condoms, which I remember you hate) for the rest of that pack.   When changing brands, ask your doctor if you need to use a back up method.

There are also the newer patches for contraception which might be easier for you to remember and live with.
