Possible Pregnancy????

I am on oral contraceptives and I missed a cycle.  I usually start my period on my first red pill. Only seeing  a doctor in two days. my body feels normal - no PMS no breast tenderness that I usually get before my period. Could I be pregnant?

HI!
If you missed some pills you are at risk for pregnancy, and I would advise a patient of my own to do a pregnancy test.  If the test is negative I would advise you to continue with the pills.  Also, don't forget that there is emergency contraception if necessarly!  Usually called Plan B
Good luck!
