So what should I do?

So what should I do?

Probably a question for the TTC board but there's not as much traffic there and I need an answer.

AF was due Monday...still no AF, I have taken a pregnancy test and it is negative. Tomorrow I am supposed to start a new batch of BC. Should I start them even if AF doesn't show?

I would take another test... one that detects low levels... and call my doctor!

I would not start the pills and make an appointment so the Dr. could do the test.
Good Luck

I agree, call the dr and even call the pharmacist since it's Sunday.

I was 2 weeks late one cycle coming off the pill

Well I am not off BC...I am still taking it. This month I was on heavy duty ABT with no backup method and from what I have heard Antibiotics lessen the effects of the pill. My period is always like clockwork...almost to the hour! I am now 6 days late!

Yes that is true, antibiotics lessen the effect of the pill. Sounds to me like it could be possible! I have a friend who was pregnant and on the pill for 4 months before she realized she was pregnant... and the baby is fine. So I don't think a few days on the pill would do any harm if you are in fact PG.. BUT if it was me I would not take that chance.. I would not take the pills and I would make an appointment to see my Dr. ASAP. It is better to be safe than sorry

I would call the docotr first thing tomorrow morning and try to get an appt.
If you can't...ask them what you should do...1 or 2 days of missing the pill is no big deal

Take the pill and schedule an appt. Being on the pill while pregnant this early on won't hurt the baby and if you're not PG and your cycle is screwing up, you're better off not messing up the pill schedule. I was PG (didn't know yet) and still taking my pills religiously for 2 weeks.

Also test again if you want before the Dr appt.
