MIssed 5 pills in week one. Could i be preganant?

[Cheryl1324]

Hi, i'm on Cilest and missed the first five pills in a row due to the chemist not having them in. I did have unprotected sex with my boyfriend. I assumed (stupidly) the first ones wouldn't matter so much but was then told by a friend they're important to take as i would have in total gone 12 days without having any. I did an online ovulation calculator to try and put my mind at rest and turns out i would have been ovulating on a couple of the days i missed. Iv now started bleeding and have pains in my lower back and abdomen. Is this because iv messed my pills up or could i be pregnant?
The dates if it helps are -
1st Sep - first day of last period finished 5th Sep
7th Sep - Was supposed to start taking pill again
Missed 7th,8th,9th,10th & 11th Sep
Have started bleeding and getting cramps 20th Sep
Not due on until 29th/30th Sep
Me and my partner would not be unhappy about being pregnant as we are planning to have a baby at the beginning of next year but its driving me mad having to wait and find if i am.
Thanks for any info x

Yes I have a 3 yr old and I'm pregnant again and yes I bled with the first one and I have bled 5-6 times with this one...it is possible that u could be pregnant...just don't get your hopes up.

Thanks for the advise, if you don't mid me asking do you have any children? If so did you have bleeding at the beginning?

I'm not good with ovulation dates and all that but if your on the pill and miss it. It is a lot easier to get pregnant but as far as bleeding and backaches since u did miss pills it may have through ur period off so don't think about it too much and hang in there and see what happens.
