Well, I was worrying about this and I decided I had to ask someone. I am currently on the pill, but last month I delayed taking the first pill for 7 days because I forgot. Would I have ovulated by then? I had unprotected sex about 6 days afterward. Am I at risk for pregnancy?
Thanks.

most likely not...you should be okay only time to worry is when you have not had your period for a couple weeks then take a home test. and then go from there.

If i read you right, you waited 14 days between packs instead of 7 days. Basically, that means that you were unprotected from day 8-14 of not taking pills, AND THE FIRST WEEK OF TAKING THE NEW PACK (since it takes 7 days to be effective if you're starting from scratch, which you basically were since you waited an extra week.)

So you're cutting it VERY close. You might have been protected on day 6, and you might not have--but they tell you to wait at least 7 days for a reason. If this was within the last couple of days, definitely get the morning after pill.

Most of the time when a woman gets pregnant on the pill, it's because she waits too long between packs, which is why some doctors suggest that you start a new pack after 5 or 6 days instead of 7 (or, skip the last two placebos if you have a 28-day pack.)

So yes, you are at an increased risk of pregnancy, assuming that the pill was your only method of birth control. If you're not pregnant this time around, make sure you never do this again! Start your pack early instead of late.

I'm on the pill...seasonale where you only get your period 4 times a year. I have had unprotected sex since my last period, but he's always either pulled out, or put a condom on and then pulled out, and has never cum inside me with or without a condom on. I am very good at taking the pill...almost always at the exact same time, sometimes varying by an hour or 2, but I make sure that it's no more than that. I don't have any symptoms such as sore breasts or neasua or anything like that, but for some reason I'm afraid that I might be pregnant. I'm not scheduled to get my period until the end of June, and if by some chance I am pregnant, there's the possibility that I'm already 3 months along, and I am NOT ready for that. So with all that, I have a few questions. First of all, what are the chances that I am pregnant? If I am, what happens when you're pregnant and continue to take the pill? Finally, should I just wait it out till I see if I get my period, or should I suck it up and just take a test? I think one of the only things I'm more scared of than being pregnant is actually taking the test, if that's at all possible. All I need is some reassurance from people who have been in a similar situation to make me not freak out for the next three weeks until my period's due. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me

I hear what you are saying about being scared of taking the test...and you are probably alright if you are as diligent as you say you are with your pills and him not cumming inside you sans condom. However, if I were you...I would rather suck it up and take the test if you are that worried, as opposed to losing sleep for 3 weeks, I would rather have 10 minutes of stress-out and then know...if you get one of those early read tests you could do that...but given your diligence with your pills you likely have nothing to worry about and should be patient.

I have had unprotected sex since my last period

No, you haven't. If you're on the pill and you take it every day, then you are not having unprotected sex. Pulling out or using condoms in addition to taking the pill makes it safer, but it's unnecessary.

Take a test, and while you're at it buy a couple so that it'll be easier if you have to do it again. And since you're feeling so anxious, I think it might also be a good idea to switch off of seasonale so you can get your period every 28 days and have more peace of mind.

I'd say get some pregnancy tests onlines, but also buy one wherever you are while you're waiting. Take one each month to ease your mind. Though I'd also suggest getting off Seasonale. Avoiding your period isn't worth the stress it can cause from worrying about pregnancy. Though after a while, testing can become routine, so you don't stress out about it. I actually almost threw away a positive test (not on the pill, btw) because I was so used to throwing away the negative tests, I forgot to look at it until the last minute. More than likely you're not pregnant, but if you stress out once about it while being safe, there's a chance you'd stress out again, so you may as well buy some cheap tests to take regularly if you're planning on staying on Seasonale.

Most of the time when a woman gets pregnant on the pill, it's because she waits too long between packs, which is why some doctors suggest that you start a new pack after 5 or 6 days instead of 7 (or, skip the last two placebos if you have a 28-day pack.)

I was never told this when I went to a gyno. or to the health department. I'm on Lo/Ovral and I was wondering if the whole 'start your new pack early' thing was for all birth control pills or just certain ones.

I'm not worried about being pregnant, I'm not. I was just curious about that because I always wait the seven days and start my new pack, take those and then wait and then start a new one, etc. I just really don't want a kid now and if me waiting the whole seven days has a possibility of bringing me closer to motherhood, erm, I want to avoid it.

Damn, I ramble. Sorry. Thanks. ^__^;;;

GO BUY A HOME PREGNANCY TEST AT YOUR NEAREST PHARMACY. ITS LIKE 12 BUCKS!!!!

Don't EVER use withdrawl, if you're ON birth control than your body is Supposed to THINK its Pregnant, and last i checked girls boobs get sore all the time.
