Question
My girlfriend hasn't missed any pills this month but now she is on her second dark green pill in her back but yet hasnt had her period. We had sex without out a condom about a week and half ago. I used the pull out method and she hasnt missed any pills. Whats the deal?
I assume the dark green pills are the inactive ones. Lots of women don't get their period until the third or fourth inactive pill. It seems very unlikely that she's pregnant. I'd give it a couple more days. Also sometimes women miss their periods on the pill and are not pregnant.
