Your question?: Regardless of the reason you're on birth control pills, if you're not taking them as directed, they aren't going to be particularly effective. If you're sexually active, you should get a pregnancy test. If the test is negative, discuss with your gyno a contraception method that doesn't require you to remember to take a pill every day. There are other options out there.
