Question
maybe strange question: I'm still using birthcontrol but what if I'm pregnant (I have this weird feeling, even though I only missed 1 pil) will that be bad for the baby? I was going to continue using it till my pack is empty.
Thanks in advance for the advice. Silvia
Well Silvia, why not take a home pregnany test? If you feel pregnant what have you go to loose. But how do you know you are pregnant? Have you been pregnant before? If you are pregnant, stop the pill. If not, continue the pill. It's not bad for the baby early on. But why not take the test. Take it exactly according to directions.
