Birth control

I am currently on the pill and I don't know how, but I managed to miss taking it for 4 days in a row (right before I should be ovulating). Has anyone gotten pregnant here while on the pill? I am a nervous wreck and we really are not planning on having more kids. I just don't know if there is a strong probabilty one way or the other, so I would like to hear from any of you and see if you have done something like this and how did it turn out?

Thanks!

I got pregnant with DD#1 while on the pill. And I dont remember missing any during that time but I was maybe a few hours late with one or two. I am sure that doesnt help.

Not the most comforting, but I guess I will just have to wait and see. I have been nauseous on and off the past two days, but not sure if it is nerves or that I am pregnant. I guess this is one of those things I will have to be patient and see what happens.

Thanks for listening.

 

Well, either way, I hope you get the result you are looking for. Have you ever thought about switching to the patch or the Nuvaring so you won't forget to take a pill? I was on the pill for 8 years before my twins and for 2 years before this pregnancy. Both pregnancies were planned and I got pregnant the first time on the first try and the second time on the 2nd try...lol! I never even had a scare when I was on the pill, but I know that others are different.

I did the patch for awhile after coming off the mini-pill after the twins. I liked it. The only place I liked putting it thought was on my shoulder and with summer (last year) coming I switched to the Nuvaring b/c I didn't want the patch all sticking out there when I had a bathing suit on. I wore it on my hip in the back for awhile, but I kept catching my nails on it when I would go to the bathroom, so it just wasn't for me.

However, I LOVED the Nuvaring. Bascially the ring is inserted into the vag**a (DH never knew it was there when we were DTD) for 3 weeks. At the end of the 3rd week, you take it out and have your period. You reinsert a new ring after 1 week. So, it's pretty easy. They have Nuvaring timers, emails, etc. that remind you when you need to take out and reinsert. Inever had any problems with it. I will probably get an IUD after this baby is born b/c as it stands now, we aren't planning on anymore after that...eventually DH will get the big V.

 

I missed 3 pills once. However, DH and I were barely remembering to snuggle at night, let alone having relations, so I wasn't worried.

FWIW, I think that going off the pill in mid-cycle could potentially make you nauseous as well. Good luck, I guess you're just going to have to wait it out. :hug99:

 

I got pregnant with this one on the pill. It was my second month taking them and I think I missed one or two pills on the third week. I started spotting early for almost a week, got AF when I started taking the placebos and then ovulated on something like day 5 of my cycle. DH and I DTD the day AF had ended and voila!

I think this is going to be a long 2 weeks to wait to see if I start. I wish you could take a test sooner!

 

If i makes you feel any better, I'm in the same boat right now... I've got 2 more pills before I have my week of placebos, so we'll see... I've been really nauseous this week, and I had a little bit of spotting this morning, so who knows?? I just wanted to let you know you're not alone right now!

 

It is nice to hear I am not the only one out there going through this. My doctor told me not to even take the rest of the pack that I needed to wait for my period before I could start them back up. So in the meantime I am just waiting. good luck to you too -- I hope it turns out the way you want it to. I know for me, I would be very overwhelmed with more kids. the two are a handful and I work full-time I do not want to have to divide my time up even more when I feel the two I have do not get enough of me.

 

I wasn't the best in remembering to take my pill, but I managed to never get pregnant as a result; here's wishing you luck in that department ;-)

The Nuvaring is great, since I don't have to think about it much unless I need to take it out to start my monthly cycle or put it back in. No more spotting or other side effects that I got from the pill, since it's a lower dose of hormones. In any case, it works great for me!

 

a friend of mine has gotten Pg off the pill, depo, and an IUD.. she just is fertile myrtle and her DH is superman. lol! Hope it works out the way you want. I have an IUD(Mirena) and love it. it can stay in for up to 5 years.
