birthcontrol not working

[kourtney47]

i really got behind in my first week on this new pill pack in which i didnt realize till thursday that i hadnt taking my pill since monday and i had a little trouble catching up but now i am all cought up this is the week of may the 31 that i started this new pack. usually around the begining of the second week of my pack my breasts start to hurt im gussing because of the hormones in the pills, well its the second week and they dont hurt.  i've noticed that i have more patiences that usuall i dont know if the pill has anything to do with patience but i do have more.  so the thursday of the week of may 31 which was my first week of my pill pack me and my bf had intercorse and he said he pulled out but yet it didnt seem like he pulled out right away and on top of that his stuff was all around my lady area if yall know what i mean. so im wondering two things. are my pills not working and could i have a chance at being pregnat using the pull out method. thanks so much kourtney!

Skipping and/or doubling up on the pills CAN interfere with your ovulation.  I once stopped a BC pack in the middle (I wanted to become pregnant and got impatient) and since I didn't finish the pack, I stopped ovulating altogether.  After several months, the doctor finally had to give me a progesterone shot and I got pregnant the following month.  Anytime hormones come into play, they can affect your ovulation.

i didnt mean for that to sound rude if it did. i just re read what i wrote and it kind of sounded rude when i re read it. thanks for the info. kourt!

so i know this is a silly question but with a messed up cycle could i have ovulated during this time (which was last week my first week in my new pill pack). my breasts still dont hurt, when usually around this time they would from the bc pills. and if i didnt ovulate last week could i still ovualte this month? thanks kourt

You can still become pregnant while correctly using birth control.

By skipping/missing pills you increase those chances of becoming pregnant. Because you missed so many pills, that is why your cycle is so messed up right now. That, or you're pregnant. You can take a pregnancy test 2 weeks from the time you last had unprotected sex (by unprotected I mean without a condom).

even if you take your pills correctly ( one a day, at the same time every day whilst you're supposed to be taking them ) you run a small risk of becoming pregnant. you CANNOT ' catch up' on missed pills, it just doesn't work like that. the more you don't take birth control correctly, the higher the risk of it failing. the pull out method is NOT effective regardless of whether he ejaculates inside you a bit or not because sperm is present in pre ejaculate and that can make you pregnant. if you don't want a baby and you want to have sex - USE MORE THAN ONE FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL AND USE IT CORRECTLY. also, have STDs not crossed your mind? with aids and hiv on the increase you might wanna consider condoms a little more. don't forget kourtney, it's not just your bf you're sleeping with...it's everyone he's had sex with, everyone they've had sex with etc etc when it comes to stds. get wise, get careful.
