A member asked:
I am currently taking birth control but my period was four days late, watery and a lighter color than normal, could i be pregnant ?

Yes: Any abnormality in your period flow should be investigated with a pregnancy test. If you missed your pill even for a day, you can be pregnant. Sometimes, you may have not missed the pill, but you may have taken antibiotics, then also your pill becomes less effective. So, please do a pregnancy test.
