    Another pill question....?!

    I have looked all over the place for a question like this but cant find one...

    To cut a long story short, I went away and forgot to take some of my pills... I missed the last pill of my pack, had a weeks break then missed the first of my next packet. I know it's stupid but I continued to have unprotected sex with my boyfriend regularly and now am toward the end of my next break and haven't had my period yet. Again I am away from home (will get a test when I get home in a week and half) but just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the chances of me being pregnant? I've taken the rest of the pills, not the ones I missed....
    Please help!!

    There are definite chances... Some women get pregnant immediately after getting off the pill (which is essentially what you did), others it takes months for it to leave their system and for them to become pregnant.

    Your period could also be delayed due to the missing and restarting of the pill, the change of hormones.

    I'd take a test as soon as you can. Are you not at a place where you can get one now?

      I'm seeing my boyfriends Mum in Spain and flying tonight!!! Unless I can find a brand i recognise/trust in the airport/in Spain I was gonna wait til I got home - I don't want her to find out that I'm having to take tests! She's not a fan of mine as it is...
