Answers:
Well, I'm on the shot and I thought I was pregnant again. But, to figure it out, you should go to the doctor or clinic, or just an at home test. But to be truthfull if you took the pill again after that there is a big chance that you won't get pregnant and if you did you will have miscarriage. But when you miss a pill make it up the next pill and take two.

Time will always tell. lol That's why I hate the pill. I tried the shot and gained 12 lbs, though so be careful of that. I'm thinking of trying the IUD. It's supposed to be a good method. Best of luck to ya.

The only way you can tell if you got pregnant is by taking a pregnancy test or seeing a doctor. You should probably do one or the other because I think that if you did get pregnant (which I seriously doubt) continuing your birth control pills might cause you to miss carry. My wife forgets to take her pill all the time and we have never accidentally gotten pregnant.

If you missed the pill once, that shouldn't be a problem. But keep track of your period cycle, that is you should get your period around the same date cycle. If you find that you are not getting your period for a week, get a pregnancy test done.

go to the doctor and ask!! duh
