Abdominal Cramps, Fatigue, Spotting. Missed Birth Control Pills, Unprotected Sex. Pregnancy?

Hi, i have been on qlaira for 6 weeks now. I started the pill on the second day of my period as i didnt want to continue with minulette for another month and missed a pill on day 5 accidentally. I had had unprotected intercourse within the 7 days before missing the pill. i only had very light spotting when i took the inactive pills at the end of the month for 2 days. i want to know if I should be worried about the possibilty of pregnancy as I am feeling overwhelmingly exhausted and have been have lower abdominal cramps for a few weeks now.

Hi dear,

The possibility of pregnancy exist, since you had unprotected intercourse within 7 days of missing a pill. This light spotting can either be implantation bleeding or a normal period, as pills lead to scanty periods. To confirm do a pregnancy test at home. Next time you miss a pill, use a condom for a week
Hope for the best.
