I took the 2 pills as soon as I remember and i have to take 2 tomorrow like the instructions i just called my doctor she told me s it will be ok because the pills only keep you from ovulating but if you stop the pills when you find out your pregnant it will be fine so im more calm now

The pill will have no effect on the baby- it is meant to prevent ovulation.
Stop taking the pill now, figure out what is going on and then find a better method of birth control for your needs.
Use condoms until then.

Yes, taking the pill if your are pregnant CAN result in birth defects for the child. Even if you think there's a remote possibility that you're pregnant, you should IMMEDIATELY stop taking the pill and see your doctor. If you don't want to see your doc, wait for your period. If your period doesn't come, take a pregnancy test. On a side note, just because you're on the pill doesn't mean that that is the only form of birth control you should be using! If you and your partner aren't at a stage where you could easily handle a pregnancy, you should be using condoms as a backup method, especially since you aren't exactly great at remembering to take the pill in the first place.

If you miss one, you can take it as soon as you remember and it's usually not a big deal. I think you can even do that with 2 days of missed pills. However, the more you mess up, the more likely you will to get pregnant, and the 2nd week makes it even more likely (timing is everything!).
Hopefully you're fine and you won't have to worry about it.
It was hard for me to remember to take my pills, but people say to associate it with another task you do. When you wake up or go to sleep, you probably brush your teeth - do it then. Or if you take any other pills or vitamins, do it then. I was also on the Depo Shot. If you want to have kids in the next few years, I'd advise not taking it, but if you're a long way from it, it's fine too. I had good luck with it.

if you plan on having a child, you need to discontinue the use of birth control for 3 - 6 months BEFORE getting pregnant. so if you are pregnant, the chances of your baby having a birth defect is high.
Also when it comes to the needle, i dont support it or promote it. The needle stops you from getting your period all together, and your period cleans out all of the inner layers of your uterus. Without your period it is more likely to get vaginal infections and stuff you dont want to deal with.
Talk to your doctor, im on the NuvaRing, you only put it in once a month.
There are many forms of effective birth control, Go to your nearby Sexual Health Clinic as they probably have the products at a reduced cost.

I think the baby might have a chance of having birth defects because the commercials always say, "Do not take if you are trying to get pregnant or think you are pregnant."
To make sure your aren't pregnant or that the baby will be okay, make an appointment with your obstetrician as soon as you can.

first of all, if you cant remember to take your pill you should either A) Stop having Sex or B) Get on a different form of bc, such as the depro shot, patch, etc.
You can get pregnant so it was a really dumb thing to do.
