If it is a possibility that i could be pregnant, is it still safe to continue the pill until i know for sure?

I would recommend finding out sooner then later.  I am sure that lots of women have taken the pill and not know that they are pregnant.  Good luck!

well this is my situation, today being friday, on sunday i missed a pill, and i didn't take it until the next day when i took the pill for that day LATE. But since the day i missed i have been bleeding a brownish blood lightly throughout the days, even today. My last period was super late and i thought i could be pregnant because i am sometimes not the best with taking the pill on time. And since about two weeks before my last period (feb 28) i have been feeling energyless, lower back pain, cramps, headaches, dizzyness, excessive hunger, etc... but i tested then and it was negative and i got my period a week later and it lasted for two days and it was light. All of this has been very weird since i usually have a very regular periods and very minor symtoms. Is it possible taht i could have gotten pregnant since the day i missed the pill was right in the middle of me being fertile? or is it posssible that i could be pregnant from last month? Oh, another thing to note is that, us being newlyweds and living in a very expensive city, spending $40 a month on the pill was expensive, so i tried getting it in MX, which is $8 for three months. Well i've heard that sometimes pills found in mexico are nothing more than sugar pills... uhoh...

Go to your doctor and get a blood test.  if you are not pregnant and don't plan on becoming pregnant for a while.  You should try other options.  They have that new Nuva ring, they have the patch.  Not taking your pill consistantly can screw every thing up.  Those two types of birth control methods are the type to keep you where you are supposed to be and help you not worry.  GOOD LUCK!

no its definatly not good to take the pill while pregnant you should stop to you no for sure some types of the pill have been known to cause birth defects good luck

The bleeding could be breakthrough bleeding from missing the pill.  I had that when I missed it.
