Every month about the time of my period i worry (EVEN THOUGH i'm on birth control and have been for close to a year now) and take a prego test every month which can get a little costly, so I was curious should I worry as long as i take my pill on time? I do have sex regularly but I'm in a monogamous relationship.
Please everyone's feedback is welcommed
(I also posted another question a little bit ago around 30 min maybe, those answers would be much appreciated as wel)
Thanks yall! :-)

Even birth control is not 100% effective; use of a condom in greatly increases the effectiveness of your BCP's.
It is normal to worry about pregnancy even while you are on BCP's. Don't purchase a pregnancy kit unless you are two weeks after the first day of your missed period - this should help as far as the cost. Too, taking a pregnancy test while on BCP's can give false-positive results. As long as you take the pill, don't stress yourself over pregnancy.
If you miss your period by more than two weeks, a test comes back negative, it is best to visit your doctor and get feedback from him/her as to the cause.

As long as you are taking your pill at a regular time you should be ok but check with your doctor as well for additional information to see what they say.

no dont worry! if you are taking the pill correctly then its like 98%...if you are so worried use a condom or the pull out method as well! its a lot cheaper than the preg test every month!! and dont take a preg test till you are late!!! use your period as a preg test!!!!!

no, there isnt a reason to worry-
depending on ur future plans it might be a good idea to talk with ur gyno about longer term (easier) options like Mirena
