getting pregnant while on pill
im on the pill and i get my period the same time every month but i havent gotten it yet. could this mean im pregnant? i took a pregnancy test the day after i was suppose to get it but it was negative. should i wait an extra week before i go to find out?
I didn't say it was definate....I said it shouldn't happen.......and you are right about certain medications such as antibiotics lessening the effects of the pill.
I would wait a week and test again also. I took my pills just like I was supposed to, although I do admit it wasn't at the exact same time everyday...but here my 2 boys sit. One is 10 and one is 8 and I was on the pill both times. Some women take the pill and never have any problems with them. Some women use condoms and never have any problems....the list goes on and on. But then there are the few of us who do have problems with them. Give it another week and test again.
That is not exactly accurate. My mother took the pill everyday, religiously, and here I sit. Coolzena99 should know that certain medications, over the counter and prescribed, and lessen the affects of the birthcontrol pill. Antibiotics are great at it. Rule of thumb in most practices is to test, if negative, test again in a week. That is what I would suggest.
Yeah....I think you should wait and then test again. Think back....did you miss any pills? If you take the pill religiously then you shouldn't be pregnant. I would test about every three days or so just to make sure.
