Question
hi i just got off the shot was only on it for 3 months then got on the pill well i missed 2 in the first 2 weeks and now i am 5 days late for my period and i was wondering what U think the chances of me being pregnant is

Answer
Having missed 2 pills and now being late for your period, I would say your chance of being pregnant are fairly good.  I'd do a pregnancy test (first morning urine).  If it's negative, then you're probably not pregnant, and the missed period may be from the thin uterine lining that the shot can cause.
