It is very hard to predict whether or not you could be pregnant given the pattern or irregular use of your contraceptives. If you miss more than two pills in a row (not including the sugar pills) then you are at risk of pregnancy. A spotty or irregular period can be a sign of pregnancy, but it could also be caused by having missed some of your pills. The best thing for you to do at this point is to get a sensitive pregnancy test so that you can know for sure. Anytime you miss a pill you should contact your pharmacist for instructions on what to do next.

Best of luck,
