What Are The Symptoms Of Potential Pregnancy?

My last period was March 09 and im sexuality active. However, last week I went to an appointment, and the doctor gave me birth control. He told me to take them immediately. The first day i took the pill was April 2, its time that i am supposed to get my period now, but i havent. Am i pregnant? or am i just going to get my period until I get to the last pills of the packet?

Hello,
Thanks for submitting your question here.
First thing you should consider that any contraceptive pill should be taken from the day one of cycle and to be continued for 21 days. You should start a fresh pack after a pill free period of 7 days.
Actually as you have started the pill from midcycle, you may have extended cycle until you stop the whole pack. There may be possibility of sudden breakthrough bleeding also.
I suggest you to start your next pack from day one of your next cycle and restart next pack with a gap of 7 pillfree day irrespective of cycle.
Sincerely
Dr Sanjoy
