Missing my birth control pills

[babygirl_j04]

OK. I slept with my boyfriend a few days ago. About a week or 2 ago I forgot somehow to take my birth control pills 4 days in a row. So I started spotting 2 days after I forgot to take my pills. I was told that when you spot that basically means that you are fertile. I'm due for my period in 2 days but I'm still spotting. So how will I know if I am pregnant? Should I go off of whether or not I get my period next month or should my spotting (which should turn into my regular period) stop if I did conceive? This is actually a question I've always wondered but I've never been in the situation that I NEEDED to ask. Please help!

I can't say 100% sure that you are not pregnant. Spotting after irregularity in taking the pill is common, and usually forgetting to take the pill now and then will not lead to pregnancy. However, to be sure you should take a home pregnancy test before your start your pills again. If the spotting / other irregularity continue, please see your doctor.
