	I have been on Seasonique for about 9 months now. I have been known to miss a pill here and there but not around the time of intercourse. For the last 2 weeks I have had the strangest collection of symptoms and I am thinking they all relate to pregnancy. Including - severe tiredness, cramping, tender breasts, going to the bathroom a lot, diarrea, very moody, nausia, then extreme hunger. Because I am on Seasonique I would have to wait 3 months for a missed "period" so I am not sure when it is best to test for it. I took a test 3 days ago and it was negative. Intercourse was 11-24 days ago. I am wondering if I could be the 1% that can get pregnant on the pill. Suggestions?

	Answer by Dr. Rajgopal, MBBS (doctor) on Mon 08, Jun 2009 01:14am: Hi, If you miss pills even for a day you are likely to get pregnant because it reduces the protection . It is not necessary that you can get pregnant only if you miss pills around the days of intercourse . Please get another pregnancy test done after a few days and get a USG done to check if you are pregnant. Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
