could i be pregnant?

[cbreezyy]

I've been on birth control for 3 or 4 months now, I don't take my pills on time or I miss one every so often. Well, lately I haven't taken them in 3 days...I want to stop taking them. I'm very sexually active, my boyfriend and I don't use protection because of me being on birth control.
I've already started my period this month, Im experiencing a light pinkish brown spotting when I wipe and in my panty liners I've placed it only lasted several hours and hasn't returned so far. I have about not even 2 weeks left until I start again and I was just wondering if there's a chance I could be pregnant ?

Even when a woman carefully tracks her ovulation, she can still be off by a few days or so, making it very difficult to know exactly when you ovulate. Wait 2 weeks from the last time you had sex and then take a home pregnancy test. That should give you an accurate result. Also, in regards to having a baby, it is a major life change and not something that should be taken lightly. If you are not fully prepared to have a baby(money saved up in the bank, stable well paying job/career, good safe place to live, very long term relationship or married, and so on), then you need to be protecting yourself against pregnancy. It is unfair to the baby to be put into such a circumstance and you can enjoy motherhood one hundred times more if you have a baby when you are truly prepared for one. There are many things to think about before just bringing a baby into this world. Even when babies are planned, it can cause so much stress on that relationship, that it may not make it. A friend of mine was with her fiance for 5 years and he walked out on her when she was 6 months pregnant. Just some food for thought.

That would make sense either one of those but like you said its hard to tell, I haven't been tracking my ovulation at all so I'm not sure on that like when I ovulated. I'm not trying to get pregnant but I wouldn't mind getting pregnant, lately I've been considering it.

Women typically ovulate about 2 weeks before their expected period(although it could be sooner or later than that and you would only know by tracking your ovulation by using temps, CM, and so on), so what you may be experiencing right now with the spotting could be implantation bleeding. It could also be break through bleeding(bleeding from missing pills), but it's hard to guess as to what is going on. Are you trying to get pregnant?

No, ive already had my period this month and I have less then 2 weeks to start my next period . But it says if you miss pills you can bleed or spot too ? So maybe its just that..

yes well you could be if its the full pill, the danger days so to speak are right after your period has finished, if you miss pills then,  but also thought your packet,  there has to be enough hormones in your system to trick your body into not ovulating, I would do as your mum suggests and stop taking the pills and treat yourself as if you are pregnant. Do a hpt and if neg repeat in a week, use condoms , If it turns out you are not, and do not want to be, maybe look at another form of contraception that does not rely on you remembering to take it :)

So you've been spotting since you were supposed to start your period but you haven't actually had a period? You need to test.

I take the full pull I guess, Beyaz? I think its the full pill at least. But like I said, I've been missing pills and not taking them on time. My mom told me not to keep taking the pills until I know for sure but my symptoms are spotting , cramping like a little bit ..not like period cramps, I've been tired lately and I've also peed 5 times today within 30 mins to an hour. I felt sick last night and my breast feel a little bit tender to touch. It says on the internet it can attach to the egg 6-12 days after your period and like I said I'm very sexually active like everyday so I guess there is a chance ?

well if your missing your pills quite regularly then you could be pregnant, are you on the mini pill or full pill, if its the mini pill then you have a high chance of being pregnant as they do not stop you from ovulating they only thicken your muccous and if its only effective if you take them everyday and within a certain timeframe each day.
