I was on the pill, and my last period was early January. I missed February's period and thought I may be pregnant. So I stopped taking the pills. I took a pregnancy test every week with negative results. Last Thursday I went to the doctor and sure enough I was pregnant. Due to the level of hormone detected, she said I am only about 4 weeks along! Why have a missed 2 periods?

maybe when you stopped the pill, it took that long for your body to get balanced out. I guess you should be happy you *are* pregnant. Some women, it takes up to a year to ovulate again after stopping birth control.

There are a lot of reasons why someone would miss periods (even on the pill)... It could be a personal hormone change that the pills were not intune with, a change in exercise, depression, or it could be as simple as your body was not having periods. Don't be stressed, and be glad you are pregnant.... if you are worried about the missing periods - talk specifically about your issues with your doctor! They can, hopefully, ease them!

Probably just a fluke. I'll bet you actually got pregnant after you stopped taking the pills. There would be a big difference in HCG levels if you were four more weeks along:
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml

the first period you missed may not have been because you were pregnant... it could have been for any number of things... stress is the major culprit. and when you stopped taking your pills when you missed THAT period, I am guessing is when you actually got pregnant.
congratulations! a baby is a wonderful gift, planned or not!

the biggest reason besides pregnancy for missed period is usually stress and or illness.
