I do not think so. But, if you keep forgetting them maybe you should consider another birth control.

It sounds like you're a little upset and sometimes our bodies can almost create false pregnancy symptoms just because we think we might be pregnant. It's doubtful that you are, but to be safe you need to talk to your doctor and see if you might need to stop the pill for this month and take a test or two. And also, if you forget to take your pill that often, you may want to try a different form of birth control. Good luck!

Is there an informational How-To pamphlet that comes with each pack of pills? There should be one. It tells you exactly how to take the pills and what to do in case you do accidentally forget and/or skip a day. Usually, you do take it as soon as you remember...say if you forget to take it at the same time-but remember only hours later-take it immediately. If you do miss one whole day, then they usually say to take 2 active pills after that missed day. You may just be experiencing stress-symptoms: ie, cramps, headaches, etc. I have a gal-pal who has never been on BCP's, yet her periods are irregular: skips a whole week, or even a whole month-she is not sexually active. I, myself am on BCP's (Lutera), and recently on the week of my *inactive* pills-the week I am to have my period, due to stress...I was 3 days late...then I finally got it. But if you are really worried, I suggest calling your doctor, nurse, etc. They are very informative regarding contraceptives, and trust me, it will relieve your worries!
Good Luck!

...i hope that helps. You really should try and get on a different form of birth control. It seems like you miss a lot of pills.
Be very careful. My friend took her pill 8 hours later then she was suposed to, it was the only pill she EVER took late and she never missed a pill and she became pregnant.

not really it is a good thing that you remembered to take it even though that you missed a day the onethat you took before is still somewhat in your system just remember that there other birth control options out there like the patch or nuva ring

birth control pills shud give u similar symptoms to being pregnant, cuz they basicaly make ur body think it is pregnant so it stops ovulating and doing that stuff that i dont know much about lol
