Could I be pregnant?

Getting Pregnant

Could I be pregnant?

On March 1, I missed a birth control pill which was a Wednesday on my second week in the pack. On the 2nd I took a normal dosage. Then on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th I also did not take my pill. The 6th, 7th, and 8th I took my normal dosage. Every day I had sex with my boyfriend and used pull out as the only other form of birth control. On the 9th, I spotted early in the morning, which made me think I was starting my period early because I had screwed up my pills so much. I didn't take any more pills, but never had any other bleeding. Exactly seven days later I started cramping. I have been cramping now for five days straight. I took a pregnancy test two days ago, during the day not in the morning, and it came back negative. I should be on a new pack of pills now, but I'm waiting to see if I get my period. Do you think I had a false negative test result?

I must say it really amazes me the number of people I see talk about using the "pull out method" as birth control. Seriously it doesnt work, do another test or see a doctor for a more definitive answer. In the future if you are not wanting a baby and you miss a pill you should consider a condom for that week (when you miss a pill it screws up the whole week)

Also stressing about being pregnant can make your period screw up more and can be deceiving :)

Good luck

Don't take the pills until you know. Use a condom until you know just in case. I came up with negitives the whole time with my first until i took a blood test, they are more reliable.

Also i don't want to sound harsh but if you do not want a baby (which is shown by trying to take the pill), you have to use condoms! If you are not responsable enough to take your pills you are not responsable enough to know when you are ovulating. There is a very high consitration of sperm in pre-cum which is ejaculated from the moment an erection occurs. I could never remember to take pills either, you can get on Depo or some other forms of birth control also that aren't an everyday thing.

Good luck!
