A member asked:
I have been on sprintec 28 continuously with no placebo pills for over a year. before that i was on depot for 5 years and never missed a shot. is there anyway i could be pregnant? i am 44?

Even w/o taking oral bcps active pills continuously, pregnancy rates after 40 are extremely rare. If you have breast tenderness, water retention, etc., a serum HCG test is very accurate for detection of pregnancy.
