Is it still possible to be pregnant?

Question

I am now 3 weeks late for my period, but i take (Zovia) birth control pills everyday. I called my doctor and she said that it is normal for some women not to get there period while on the pill she said that it is called a dry month. But i have had my period on time for the last 2 1/2 years without a dry month except for now. Is it even possible to be pregnant?

Answer 1

Is it possible? Of course it's possible, assuming you're sexually active. No birth control is 100 percent effective.

Is it likely? No.

With any kind of hormonal birth control it is common to have quirky cycles -- dry months or breakthrough bleeding or cycles that don't time out the way they "should." It is perfectly normal to have 2 1/2 years of periods that are "on time" and then have a cycle that's out of whack. Doesn't mean you're *not* pregnant, but it doesn't suggest that you *are,* either.

Take a test. Home tests are *extremely* accurate, and extremely sensitive as well. If it's negative and you still don't get a period call your doctor again, and if you do go in for a test through your doctor's office at that point request a quantitative beta hcg.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

Birth control pills are not a 100% safe. You need to buy a test with at least two just to make sure. She is correct about being a few days late. The other symptom that will stand out if you are pregnant is you feel nausea of some sort. They it hits adround threes to twelve but will very with every person. It also depends how old you are and how long you have taken this brand of birth control. Go buy a test and talk to your doctor if the test is positive. The other thing is too it could just be stress.

Answer 3

It is possible but I doubt it. Dry months are usual. If you feel you could be pregnant take a pregnancy test and in the meantime I would stop taking the pills they could harm the baby until you know you are not pregnant for sure. The doctor can do a blood test which is more accurate than a home test but like I said I would stay off the pills until you can get a test use condoms instead
Good Luck!

Answer 4

yes it's possible. no birth control is 100%. It's unlikely considering the amount of time you've been on the pill but is possible. Many things can factor into not getting your period. If you need reassurance then take a pregnancy test - if it's negative then I wouldn't worry about being pregnant unless you start having other symptoms but if you worry too much your mind will tell your body to cause more symptoms so you need to really relax if the test is negative and not think about it.

Answer 5

I would take a pregnancy test just in case. Strange things have been known to happen...dry months, pregnant on the pill, etc. This way you will know one way or another.

Answer 6

There's always a possibility. If you are 3 weeks late, take a pregnancy test. If you're still worried go to your doctor's. Good luck!

Answer 7

Yes. I got pregnant with my oldest while on the pill. She may be right but i'd double check anyway.

Answer 8

yes it is possible. Nothing is 100% except abstinence. Just buy a home pregnancy test and have a look see. Congrats if its blue!

Answer 9

It may be if you were taking any type of antibiotic(s). It will counteract the effectiveness of the pill. My sister got pregnant that way.

Answer 10

Best way to know is to go buy a hpt. You will have questions no matter what anyone else says.

If the test is negative, then you aren't.
