Could I be pregnant??

[sge123]

I have been on the yaz pill for about a year now. I missed a couple pills but made sure to take them the very next day with the dose for that day.. on one of the days I missed a pill I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. I am also not very good at taking the pill at the same time eachday. I get so busy with school and work its hard to make sure im consistant with it. Could I be pregnant? I think I might be showing signs of pregnancy but I dunno. They are similar to what I would be having before my period starts. like fatigue, sore breasts, feeling emotional. It just seems to be a little more extreme than usual. Could I just be thinking about it too much?

it always seems that girls "forget" pills when they have sex for some reason.

birth controls not 100% thats why you should ALWAYS use condoms in addition and when you miss pills the effectiveness does go down. you just have to wait. its a waiting game now

I wouldn't worry about until you don't get your period for the next cycle. I myself have been on the "pill" and ended up with three kids later due to the same reason forgetting and then trying to double the next day to make up for it. If your very active person and some time forgetful i wouldn't recommend the pill, you'll end up getting pregnant when you at least expected trust me. There is a "modern" IUD that is inserted into your cervix i believe that lasts for about 5 years. you don't have to worry about taking something every day or every month. there's always a down fall to everything, but if i were you i would check into that,it wouldn't hurt to know more and better options. GOOD LUCK!
