missed pill.. pregnant?
I'm stressing out and have been google-ing everything remotely related to birth control pills and pregnancy. Please help put my mind at ease! Here's my story: I'm 17 years old and have been on yaz birth control for 5 months. At the beginning of my last pack, I forgot to run to the pharmacy to pick it up. So I didn't start my pack until the next day. 2 weeks later I missed a pill and took it as soon as I remembered the next day. Then I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend.. But he pulled out .. Idk if that matters. Anyways the past week I've been having brown discharge and I'm not due for my period for another 3 days. What are the chances that I'm pregnant? Thanks in advance..

You really shouldnt panic
you have been on the pill for 5 months and this is the 1st time you forgot to take it? dont worry a close friend of mine went throught the same thing as you and she came on her period on the week off from taking it
it was all fine
dont worry!!

After being on the pill for 5 months,
Chances are very, very slim that you
got pregnant from missing a pill. Don't
make a habit of it.
Thats the main purpose
of taking it same time each day. You
are more likely to remember it. You did
right in taking it as soon as you remembered.
When you do forget, for lack of a better way
of explaining, your period doesn't know if
its coming or going. That is the reason for
the brown discharge. If you forget and take
it as soon as you remember you should be ok.
As I said, DO NOT make it a habit. If you
forget often enough, you will get pregnant.

The brown discharge could possibly be from a yeast infection, however I could be wrong. There are only a certain time period out of the month when a woman is fertile - meaning you can't get pregnant on just any day of the week. There's a website that calculates the exact days you are fertile: www.babycenter.com/ovulation-calculator. If you have been on BC for 5 months, I highly doubt you are able to produce proper hormones as birth control puts fake hormones in your body and it usually takes about 3 months to gain back the real hormones once you stop BC. Honestly, I wouldn't be too worried. I know every girl gets scared almost every month when sexually active - but if you truely believe you're pregnant and you're not you can actually develop symptoms of pregnancy which could also be why you're having brown discharge. Anyway I hope I helped. Good Luck!
