I am 19 years old and i have been having protected sex for 3 years now. i have been on birth control for about 3 years now too. i have always remembered to take my pill on time and on the right days. but last month in June i forgot for 3 days. i was really stressed out and forgot. so i got my period the next day and i have had it for the past two months. i have been taking my birth control and it wont go away. but the other day i had sex with my boyfriend and we didnt use a condom ( we weren't thinking) and he went inside me. and that was only two days ago. could i be pregnant? and why is my period 2 months long?
Additional info, added Thursday July 24 2008, 7:30 pm: oh yes and another thing..i went to my doctor at the begining of july and he said that it was just because i missed my pill and that i probably had a UTI so he gave me medicine for the UTI but im still on my period. its light right now and its on and off for the most part. i just am really scared. please help me asap!

Yes, condoms work very well, but there's been a lot of people who have become pregnant despite the fact that a condom was used. Birth control can be very effective as well, but there are no 100% guarantees.
Periods are hardly regular when you're a teenager.
Wait about a week and take a pregnancy test. Then, if you still aren't sure, see your doctor and have a professional test done.
ANY time you have sex, especially unprotected sex, you risk getting pregnant. I don't know anything about Birth Control, though. I also know nothing about UTI's, so you should probably schedule an appointment with your doctor just to be safe.
