period and pregnancy issues
I've had my period since I was 11 (16 now) and they haven't been getting regular. Sometimes I didn't get my period for 2 months at a time but I wasn't worried at all because I hadn't had sex. Since I was 14 I've been on the pill. Almost 2 months ago I had sex with my boyfriend. We used a condom but I havn't had my period in almost 3 months. I ually gain weight around my period but I'm concerned because of the missing of my period for a longer lenth of time. Now I'm getting worried because the pill is supposed to first of all prevent your chances of getting pregnant and second, keep you regular. Is it possible that I'm pregnant while on the pill and after using a condom? Thanks for your help.

If you've always had an irregular cycle, then it's not abnormal for it to be late. Seeing as how you used a condom and i'm assuming you haven't missed a pill, there isn't any reason for you to be concerned. If you don't get it within a month, take a home pregnancy test just to be on the safeside. You could take one now if you are that concerned about it. Remember, stress can play a huge factor in delayed periods, so try not to freak out to much.
Pregnancy is always a possibility, but I doubt you need to worry.

theres always a possibility of pregnancy.. but it is extremely unlikely that you would get pregnant if you're on the pill & you used a condom. you should definitly talk to your doctor about this.. maybe theres a problem with the pill?

I've been on the pill before, and it does mess you up quite a bit.
there is no way you could be pregnant.
because of the 99% chance a condom works.
and..
with birth control.
you have nothing to worry about dear.
and you would be having morning sickness.
:D
you're okay.

Yes, it IS possible, as neither method is 100% effective.
The pill is supposed to regulate your period, by encouraging a 'drop off' reaction during the week of dummy pills. Are you taking the dummy pills every month or are you taking a new pill that allows you to skip periods?
If you are that worried after three months, take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, then the real question here is why you aren't menstruating. This is something that needs to be discussed with the doctor that prescribed your pills, so they can adjust your contraception level to fit your body. Also, they can check to see if there are other medical reasons for you to be skipping periods.

Well. It is possible to get pregnant while on the pill, seeing as though my mom did it 3 times. If you used a condom and are on the pill, then I highly doubt that you are pregnant. Condoms are usually good for preventing pregnancy, if nothing was done to damage the condom, but if you are really concerned about it, I would buy a home pregnancy test just to be sure.
As for the regulating periods thing, my friend was on the pill and it extended her periods, and made them even more irregular than they already were, so its not always effective for that nature.

If you are on the pill and he used a condom, I really don't think you're pregnant. If you have been irregular all along, even while on the pill, I don't think I would worry about it. It would be a very rare occurrence if you were. :)
