Miss pill, could I be preggo or start mid cycle?

so, i’m on BC but last cycle i wasn’t taking it at the same time every night. this BC cycle my period started the begining of the 3rd week of pills. i forgot to take the pill for 3 nights before that. could missing the pills have cause me to start my period mid cycle? could i have been preggo? please. i don’t know what to do.

I can answer the BC question, because that’s happened to me. If you don’t take the pills at the same time of day everyday, (especially if you miss that many) it messes with your hormones. I made the mistake of taking my pills at random times one month and had my period for weeks 3 AND 4. It sucked! Be sure to be consistent, & it won’t happen again. But you may want to see your doc, just in case. [Willow the Phoenix]

To the BC pills question:
It doesn’t matter if you take them the exact same time every night, it can vary a few hours.
Actually, if you even just miss one pill you’re safe. But any more than one (especially three) will give you your period. Your body is programed to ovulate the second the hormones telling it not to (the hormones in the pill) stops. SO yes, you could be preggo, and that is why you had your period.
You should always use a condom, not only because if you miss pills they don’t protect you at all, but for STDs.
IF you missed pills and had your period, then no, you’re not pregnant because you had your period, but if you ever miss more than one pill again and have sex you could be pregnant.
And if you have questions, READ THE PILL INSTRUCTIONS.

But I always take my pills within a three hour period every night and I’ve never had any problems with having my period too soon. I would say just make sure you take them within the same period, like, between 7 and 9 every night.

Well I don’t think I need to answer this question, so many noters did for me 🙂 but I am going to post it up so people can read it.
