asklissa answered Wednesday November 1 2006, 10:44 pm: but the pill is only 99.7% affective when taken exactly right and 92% affective as taken by most woman. so that means that 3 to 80 out of 100 women on the pill will get pregnant still. you could be one of them [ asklissa's advice column | Ask asklissa A Question ]
lawlady10 answered Wednesday November 1 2006, 12:44 pm: First, did you take your pregnancy test in the morning? Your results will be most accurate first thing in the morning. Second, women skip periods for a variety of reasons. Stress, change in diet, ti can be a variety of things. If you are still concerned go to a doctor and take a blood test or ask your gynocologist about the missed period, they will be able to give the best and most accurate advice.

Melody answered Wednesday October 25 2006, 7:45 pm: The test could very well be wrong. You can still get pregnant while on the pill, even if you use it correctly. No birth control is 100% effective.
But while women are on the pill, some seem to have later/earlier periods, or no period at all. One of the many benefits of being on the pill. It sounds like you are just being paranoid; & stress can play a huge factor in missed periods. I'd say relax, and if you miss another period cosider another pregnancy test.

karisue answered Tuesday October 24 2006, 6:43 pm: if you are athletic you can miss your period for months & months.
if you think you may be pregnant but the test said you weren't, take 3. some tests can be wrong, while others are right. and if you still don't trust those, go to a doctor.
when my mom was younger she used to miss her period all the time & at one point or another, a girl will miss her period at least once.
so don't stress bby.

smart1fromcali answered Tuesday October 24 2006, 2:43 pm: pregnancy tests may be wrong at times. to be 100% sure you should go see a gynecologist. and yeah stress may throw off a period. and also to know if you're pregnant wait 3-4 months. if you dont get youre period in 3-4 months that means u are pregnant. youre not paranoid.

brokenwings__x answered Tuesday October 24 2006, 7:40 am: No you're not very paranoid. That happens to the best of us girls. It comes from being stressed out. Stress throws your hormones off balance, though if you're having sex there's always a chance of pregnancy.. If you're really that concerned you could go to your doctor and have a pregnancy test taken there. They are a lot more accurate. [ brokenwings__x's advice column | Ask brokenwings__x A Question ]
