A member asked:
My gf missed 2 birth control pills. has been spotting for almost 2 weeks. shes due for her period tuesday. on pill for about 4yrs. high chance preg?

Not necessarily.: Missing 2 pills is like taking two placebo pills where the body thinks it's time to start your period. Doctors sometimes recommend to take the pills missed on the next day, when one day is missed. So spotting might suggest an attempt to start her period. Nevertheless get the pregnancy test done, and make sure.
