A : A few things could be going on. First of all, if she is using the birth control pill correctly (taking a pill at the same time every day without missing one) then she has a less than 2% chance of being pregnant. Add condoms and the risk of pregnancy is even lower! more than likely, her missed period is from the pill itself. Many low estrogen formulations (like loestrin) can cause very light or even missed periods. Some women will choose a low-estrogen pill just for that side effect! if she continues to have irregular periods and finds it worrisome, she can talk to her doctor about switching to a different pill. If she has missed pills and thinks she might be pregnant, a home pregnancy test will be 97% accurate 1-2 weeks after the missed/light period. A doctor's urine test would be able to detect a pregnancy test now. Good luck!
