How reliable is the birth control pill in my situation?

Post a new topicby Flooble on Thu Jul 31, 2008 3:38 pm

I've been on the pill for about a year now, and I haven't become pregnant (despite having sex, obviously). Now, I was sleeping with someone regularly a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure I was quite consistent in taking the pill at the same time of day every day.

I never forgot the pill for more than 6 hours after I should've taken it, so I never really missed a day. I also skipped my period by starting a new strip of pills when I ought to have my period. Usually when I do that, I bleed through a little, and this time I didn't. That's what worries me. If I am pregnant, I'd say I'm about 2 or 3 weeks, without any signs. I don't FEEL pregnant at all, if it's anything you can feel.

Does anyone have a like experience they could share with me, or some knowledge of how much risk there is of me being pregnant?
