Pregnant?

My boyfriend and I have been A for about 2 weeks now. I just started the placebo pills in my pack when we had sex.  So, I waited about 4 days before I started a new pack, hoping to have my period end a little earlier (and have been taking the pills every day since).

I'm on the tri-cycle of orthocyclen and had trouble with my period stopping 3 moths ago when i first switched. I tried taking the premarin pills like i was told to last time, (which stopped my period in a few days), but this time it's not stopping. It stopped for a while a week ago and since then, it's been spotty.

We had unprotected sex two weeks ago wednesday (when I took my first pill in my new pack) and I'm wondering if I might be pregnant. I'm not sure because I'm slightly crampy, and don't have tender breasts or mood swings. But I am feeling a bit bloated and the spotting thing.

When should I take a pregnancy test?

give it 3 weeks from sex. they say 2 but that leaves the possiblity of false tests so just give it 3 weeks and take a test

I wouln't know when i missed my period because I'm on the tri-cycle and just started a new cycle. I don't want to wait three months to see if I missed my period.

you said you waited..before starting a new pack hoping to mess with your period. that means you messed up your pills by not taking them correctly and waiting 4 days.


you have had unprotected sex and were not taking your pills teh way you should have...

take a test when your periods missed

know that what your experiencing can be from the pill
