I have been on birthcontrol for 5 months. I missed my pill last Wed and then had unprotected sex on Thursday. On Saturday I started a light period that has continued today. I was not supposed to get a period for another week and a half. Does this mean I am not pregnant?

Most likely, but you won’t know for sure until you have a regular period or you take a pregnancy test. Hopefully you made up your pill correctly. When you miss a pill, you should take it as soon as you remember and then take your next pill at the regular time. If you don’t remember until you’re ready to take your next pill, you should take both pills at the same time.

Missed pills or taking pills late can cause some breakthrough bleeding (bleeding or spotting in between periods).  Keep taking your pills as directed. Try not to miss any more this cycle. If you don’t have any bleeding at all during your placebo pills, take a pregnancy test.
