stop worrying
relax
take a deep breath
go to see your doctor and get a pregnancy test done
A friend of my sister in law was taking the pill for 3 months when she found out she was pregnant the whole time and she has a perfectly healthy baby girl with no health problems(she's almost 3 now) so being on the pill for the first month or so of pregnancy doesn't do much harm
go do a pregnancy test
if your worried you can go off the pill if you want too but your probably not pregnant and you'll have to start all over with the pill again
you should have an extra pack with you in your peruse and an alarm on your cell phone or watch to remind you to take the pill if you keep forgetting or ask your doctor for an easier to remember birth control method
now take another deep breath and try to relax.

Go see the dr. He will advise you to stay on the pill until it is determined if you are indeed pregnant. I was on the pill when i got pregnant with my son. I Kepts taking tests and they kept saying neg. Then a test come up positive, I called the dr. He said to stop the pill and saw me in the office, He then sent me for an ultra sound and I was 3 months. My son is very healthy. He is now 15. The pill can give you false negitive readings.
If you think you are I would advise you to stop the pill. If you have sex use other birth control. If you continue feeling this way get a test. If its negitive, wait 10 days - 2 weeks and test again.
Found this online.
What if you become pregnant while taking these pills?
One concern with non-stop birth control is that women who use them may become pregnant without knowing it. While most women can rely on their monthly period to signal that they are not pregnant, women on non-stop birth control pills may not realize they are pregnant for some time, and may continue to take their birth control pills during pregnancy. Fortunately, the birth control pill has not been shown to cause birth defects or problems with pregnancy if it is taken accidentally during a pregnancy.
Though the chance of accidental pregnancy is very low for women who use birth control pills correctly, women on continuous-use birth control pills would have to rely on other signs of pregnancy such as nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue, or a pregnancy test to determine if she has become pregnant.
When do I start my oral contraceptives?
The Sunday after your menses (period) is the best day to start your oral contraceptives. If you start your menses on a Sunday, start your oral contraceptives that day.
What do I do if I miss or forget to take my birth control pill?
Take your birth control pill as soon as you remember then take the next one at your regularly scheduled time. You should use a back up method for 7 days if you miss or are late taking a birth control pill.
What will happen if I am late or forget taking a birth control pill?
There is a possibility of becoming pregnant as you may ovulate if late or miss a pill. You may also experience some break through bleeding (bleeding when its not your period) or your period may come early or late. This is why it is very important to use a condom for a full 7 days if you miss a pill.
I am bleeding and I am not suppose to start my period yet, what is wrong?
This is referred to as break through bleeding and can be caused by missing or being late taking a birth control pill. It can also happen with vaginal infections and you must be examined to rule an infection out. Some antibiotics can cause vaginal bleeding and you should use a condom while you are taking antibiotics.

No, not if you only take it for a while. Brief exposure has not been shown to hurt a fetus.
You need to stop as soon as you know you are pregnant but taking it for a few weeks before you know won't harm the baby or cause birth defects or a miscarriage.
Continue to take your pills, take a test and find out for sure.

Yes it can. I suggest that you stop taking them right away, until you see a doctor, but just in case you aren't pregnant, I also suggest that you hold off on having anymore unprotected sex.
Good Luck!
