What to do if pregnant?

[Padawan]

I have been on the pill for several months, but I am an extraordinarily forgetful person and in those times have missed days here and there. I know its horrible, and I've been kicking myself in the butt for it.

Whenever my boyfriend and I have sex we also use a condom. However, a little while ago we didn't. He did not come in me, but of course I'm still worried that I may be pregnant -- especially considering that two days prior to this I took my pill a few hours late.

If I am pregnant, I would like to know -- should I stop the pill now? Should I keep taking it? If I keep taking it, will it cause a miscarriage? If I am pregant I do not want to damage my baby. But if I'm not I don't want to go off my medication and possibly mess up my body (although I'm sure skipping days did just that).

Thanks for any advice.

You are more than likely ok. Taking your pill a few hours late wont completely screw you up... its if you miss a day or 2.
Before you start freaking out or stopping taking your pills, you should find out for sure.
Get a test.
Are you even late for your period yet? Or are you getting a head start on the worrying :P
Just take a test. I'd buy 2 different kinds that way you wont be wondering if you did it right.
THEN.... once you find out the answer.. take it from there.

Thanks for the response.

Nah, I'm not supposed to get my period for another 2 1/2 weeks, so yeah, I guess I'm just really paranoid in general. My boyfriend is the same way.

I never thought of getting two different kinds of tests... I'll definitely do that. But I have to wait until the first day I expect my period, right? I've been doing some research. I'd like it to be accurate and from some of the brands I looked at they don't become accurate until at least the first day of your missed period.

Also, if I don't miss my period (if its all normal, that is -- not if its a strange, light bleed or anything like that), does it meen I'm definitely not pregnant? I'll still do the test anyway, just to be 200% sure.
