ThugGirl041790 answered Thursday February 16 2006, 4:55 pm: Yes birth control is 99.9% effective but deff. if you miss pills then there is a chance of pregnancy..I recommend using a condom as well not just the pill..If this happens again i recommend [the day after pill] you can get this at like planned parenthood or over the counter..
Using the first sign of possibly being pregnant are missed periods..But since you`ve messed the pills up your period most likely will not come on time..[Buy a pregnancy test to be positive..♥Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]
Nallie answered Thursday February 16 2006, 9:56 am: Although some pregnancy tests can detect pregnancy earlier, I firmly believe that they are most reliable 3 days or more after the date of the first missed period. In early pregnancy sometimes the only symptom is a missed period. Since early pregnancy symptoms often mimic the same symptoms of a period (tender breasts, increased urination, irritablity) the best way to know is take a pregnancy test or get one at the Dr. It is better to be safe than sorry. Since you are taking the pill I assume you do not want to become pregnant. If you have trouble remembering to take the pill you will lower it's effectivness and increase your odds of becoming pregnant. Those are both things to consider when chosing birth control. Speak with your Dr about other options such as a patch or injection. Another advice giver recommended natural family planning (NFP). Just going by the little information you have given us in your post, I wouldn't recommend that method for you. To be done properly it requires a great deal of committment and control and has a lot of room for error. It's much more complicated than taking a pill every day. Many women have succesfully used hormonal type birth control with few to no side effects. Like I said before discuss your options with your Dr, and I highly doubt he/she would recommend NFP.

Showtime answered Tuesday February 14 2006, 9:30 pm: I have even better advice. Dont take the pill its not that effective and the long term side effects are not good. Also they could result in multiple births i.e. Twins, Triplets, etc. I know a form of birth control that is 99% effective and has no side effects. its high effectiveness rate, others appreciate that it is safe and healthy for the woman, and still fits with their religious beliefs.
However, while they often learn NFP for a single reason, most couples are happily surprised to find that there are other advantages to using NFP that they never suspected. We’ve compiled here the various reasons couples have told us they’re glad to have found NFP.it is 100% natural and a woman simply observes the signs of fertility and infertility that God built into her fertility cycle.
NFP uses no birth control drugs or devices, so there are no risks to a woman’s health. Practicing NFP involves respecting the body and how it functions, while artificial methods use medications or devices whose purpose is to thwart the body’s normal function. Every drug has potential side effects, which may be worth risking when trying to restore good health, but normally, we don’t take a drug product unless it is necessary to cure or relieve something that is wrong with us. Birth control drugs, however, treat your perfectly healthy, natural fertility as a disease. They are unnecessary, which makes accepting the risks of their side effects even more needless.
It is common to assume chemical birth control (the Pill, the Patch, Depo Provera) and invasive devices or surgery (the Intrauterine Device or IUD, vasectomy, or tubal ligation) are perfectly safe because they are used so widely. Not so. There are many undesirable and even risky side effects to every artificial method. Some of these side effects are more a nuisance (weight gain, irritability), and others quite serious (increased risk of blood clots, stroke, or some types of cancer). Yet they are all unnecessary.
Remember, drug companies have consistently claimed great safety for every birth control drug that has ever appeared (since 1960, in fact). With the birth control pill, however, it was generally only when a "new generation" was announced that anyone admitted the problems of the "older" version. Also, several artificial methods, like the older IUDs or Norplant, have been taken off the market over the years because health-related lawsuits, and some studies have linked chemical spermicides with birth defects.
we routinely hear of the frustrating, bothersome, and tragic consequences of the choice to use unnatural methods to space births. Some women have even lost their ability to conceive due to their use of an artificial method.
There’s no question about the reliability of the Sympto-Thermal Method — it can be used at the 99% level of effectiveness to postpone or avoid pregnancy, which is an effectiveness level as high or higher than all artificial methods except sterilization.
If you are concerned about avoiding pregnancy, you can take heart from the conclusion of the Los Angeles Study conducted by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (now Health & Human Services) to compare the different systems of NFP under similar conditions: “There were no method failures in the STM (Sympto-Thermal Method) group,†(Maclyn E. Wade, et al., “A random prospective study of the use-effectiveness of two methods of natural family planning,†Am J Ob and Gyn 141:4 (15 Octo 1981) 368-376). A “method failure†is an unplanned pregnancy among couples who follow the rules of a given method. MOst doctors dont recommend this Gem because they cant make money if you dont need to get drugs or have a visit. CHeck out this link.

karenR answered Tuesday February 14 2006, 7:50 pm: The birth control pill is 99.9% effective, IF you take it as directed. If you don't then of course the % goes down. You could get pregnant.
If you a pregnant, the first sign is usually a missed period.
