Pregnant on the pill?

Hello. I'm 19 years old and have been on the pill for 2 years now. I'm really, really good at taking them every day at the same time. I take them at 12:30pm every day and never had any problems with it except when I tried to skip my period, but that didn't work so I went back to taking my sugar pills. Anyways, that was a long time ago. My periods have been really regular except for this past month. On October 8-11 I got my period. On the 25 to the 2nd of November, I had really heavy brown discharge with also a little bit of light blood. And now it's sunday and my sugar pill week has passed and I did not get my period. I don't feel different at all. My boobs aren't sore or anything like that.

I just started a new pack even though I didn't get my period. Why did I have brown discharge with a little bit of blood for almost 10 days and didn't get my period? Please help me.

Take a pregnancy test. Even when taken correctly the pill is only really about 93% effective

I highly doubt your pregnant, take a test to put your mind at ease

Thats understandable, but also condoms ontop of bc makes it a lil more 'safe' but unless you or your bf are fixed it could and has happened. Sometimes even when some is fixed they still get pregnant. Its up to you, but if you already know which path you'll take if you are, it'd prolly be best to take a test.

So does that mean that that was my period? My boyfriend keeps telling me that the brown discharge that I had was my period and keeps telling me that I'm freaking out over nothing. But I don't know.

I would take a test because even though your on the pill you can still have that possibility of getting pregnant. All 3 of my younger brothers were birthcontrol babys.

I've been thinking about it. I'm not sure if I want to take a test or wait until the end of this pack to see if my period was just weird or something. And yeah, I don't plan on having kids, ever. My boyfriend and I really don't want kids. I just got on the pill because its more effective than condoms.
