I am no expert but the only definite way u will tell is if u do a test. I was always missing pills but it actually took me a year from when I came off to get pregnant as it can take a while for the pill to leave ur system but like I said do a test, best time would be tomorrow morning so if u can get one today then do it with ur first wee tomorrow then it might put ur head at rest :)

If you miss the odd pill here or there then you should be covered, if you miss a week at a time then chances increase, also if you are antibiotics. I think you should be protected.

But

Take a test and see

God luck

My friend only missed one pill and became pregnant, so it can happen. You can also spot during early pregnancy.I would defo do a pregnancy test, then you will know one way or the other. I have my fingers crossed for you!

Hi I was on the pill like yourself in 2009 were you take a 7 day break I missed a few pills and I fell pregnant so it can happen. But the only way to be sure is like all the other ladies have said take a pregnancy test I would recommend you get the clear blue digital test and do it first thing in the morning I used this test when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and then again in this pregnancy but I used about 5 different own branded home tests before using clear blue. The test will let you know if you are an how far on but if I remember correctly you have to add on a week but it will tell you on the leaflet.

I was on the pill and messed up a few days and half way through the pack I had spotting which was very unusual so I spoke to the womans health doc at my local surgery who advised me to do a test and it came back positive so took us a few days to get our heads round having a 3rd baby as I never thought i would get caught out on the pill as always been so strict with it so it can happen. Do a test, good luck I hope it is the news you want and keep us posted:-):-)

Well at least you know now. Sorry to hear you feel unwell though. Hopefully, the nurse/Drs can shed some light. I hope you feel better soon :-). Take care.
