I am on birth control and I missed three pills. I am 4 days late. am I pregnant?

Question

I have been on the pills for 3 months and I noticed I missed three active pills around the time I was sexually active. now I am 4 days late and have been feeling very ill lately. My husband and I already have 4 kids Can we be expecting another.

its not the fact that i missed them I go to take them and that day is gone. So I thought that I had taken it. Then my child tells me that daddy flushed it.. He wants more. I'm not saying that I don't want another child just not at this time.getting fixed is not an option..Due to religous beliefs.

Answer 1

Firstly, for the person who said that you can not take a home pregnancy test because you are on the pill NOT TRUE!! you can take it, it will no affect the results in any way.

You may be late & feeling ill because missing pills will mess up your cycle, the best thing to do is take a pregnancy test and go see your doctor.

Answer 2

First of all, the pill doesn't work very well even when taken effectively/accurately. Second of all, how can you "miss" three active pills around the time you're sexually active? Sounds to me like you WANT to be pregnant again. Problems on the home front? Don't want hubby to leave? Sorry, but that's the truth. With four kids there is NO WAY IN HELL I'd "miss" a birth control pill! What you NEED to do is get your tubes tied or have him get snipped if you TRULY don't want any more kids.

Answer 3

Do you mark your "Calendar", like some women do? I always since, I was 12 years old, mark my calendar, and put down the first day I started.....Then count anywhere from 27-32, days, after that and mark, "Due, again", on the next month....Then count, from the last start date.....If your into the 30s, on being late, then I'd say, "Yes", but I'm not a Gyno, I wouldn't run out & buy, a kit just yet.......Because, the pill has so many side-effects, even being late, could be one of them... I never took the pill for very long simply because, the list of "side-effects" was longer than some magazines, I've read.... There's so many other options, out there.......However, should this be a "False-Alarm", I'd start writing your menzies, down, on the Calendar, only the first day. The last one doesn't matter, at all. And start counting from that day, forward to anywhere from 27-32, days, later mark that day...Anything after that, is time to be concerned....Good-Luck & congratulations, if your both Happy, about things!

Answer 4

Sounds like you need to talk to your doctor about a different method of birth control. You are not protected when you miss 3 pills a row, and very well could have ovulated.

Answer 5

More than likely you probably are pregnant. Seeing as how you say you missed 3 pills. But that also depends on if they were back to back misses or a day here and another there.

Answer 6

since you are taking the pill, a home pregnancy test is NOT going to work for you. the pill works one of two ways... either by preventing ovulation or preventing implantation. a home pt is most likely going to create a positive result no matter what the actual status is.

you need to consult your doctor to discuss what your next step will be. good luck.

Answer 7

Dont think so , Your probably thinking about it so much that your starting to think that ur getting symptoms, or ur really stressed out or something. That happened to me once but it takes time for your body to go back to normal. But just take a test just in case.

Answer 8

This is not the place to get your answer- go buy a testing kit or see your Doctor. Good luck

Answer 9

If you are or not, you or your husband, need to think about getting fixed. I have 4 kids and I don't know how on earth I could afford another one!!!!!!!

Answer 10

Sounds like you've got a good chance of having 5. You have to take them regularly or forget it.
