Go to the doctors NOW! You should stop taking the pills if you really think your are prego since it can cause many many terrible birth defects in the fetus.

I would suggest not taking the rest of the pills and calling a doctor/health links or something and asking a professional for advice.

1)Stay on your birth control
2)Get a home pregnancy test TODAY
3)Call your doctor to set up an appointment tomorrow (explain what’s going on)
4)Don’t stress. Spotting and period-like symptoms are common with that pill.

Ok, if you stop the birth control now the birth control will still be in your system for a while so it won’t really make a difference. Ok, here is something to think about. You are on a pill that is making a natural cycle (your period) that is suppost to happen once a month only happen 4 times a year. Your body is still going to try and have you period because it is natural. This is why you could be having spotting and cramping. If you are that worried that you are pregnant, then go and buy a home pregnancy test and take it or call you doctor. You can also check the symptoms for the specific birth control you are on you can do this by looking at the prescription info that come with the birth control, you could google the specific name, or you could call your pharmacist.

Birth control stays in your system for 24 HOURS ONLY!

That is why they say to take it at the SAME TIME everday. By taking it an hour late it only causes a lapse and you have no hormones in your system for a bit
