anyone get pregnant on the pill

im afraid i might be pregnant, or maybe im just crazy.  im 22 months pp with DD2, im on the pill, a regular pill, ortho tri nessa or something or other, but my period is late.  i guess i should just get a test when i pick up DD1 from school, but honestly, im scared.  what kind of damage could i have done to this maybe baby by continuing to take the pill?  eff!

Re: anyone get pregnant on the pill

  • I'm gonna go ahead and suggest you stop taking the pill until you find out if you are pregnant or not.  That should have been the first thing you did upon suspicion of pregnancy.  Exactly how late are you to be this concerned yet STILL taking the pill?

  • I got pregnant w/ Jackson on the pill.  But I was due for my period by the time I figured I could be pregnant [no period] so I didn't start a new pack, I took a pg test instead.

    From my limited understanding, the pill prevents your body from ovulating, so if you did ovulate and get pregnant, I think there is little risk to the baby, but I would definitely not start a new pack of pills without taking a test.

    This. I got pg with Nora after missing a pill, and my doc told me everything was fine re: taking the pill while being pg for a week or two. Take a test.

  • I took my first "period" pill on sunday, yesterday.  typically, my periods have been like clockwork which is why im concerned.  i may be way premature.  off to get DD and a test now.
