I'm on birth control pills, and a lot of the time, they make me skip my period. Every month I get freaked out, because my period doesn't come, and I start thinking I must be pregnant. Other than the obvious taking a pregnancy test every month, are there ways to try to tell the difference between when your birthcontrol is causing skipped periods, and when it's an actual pregnancy? So far I've just been buying pregnancy tests every month, but that's starting to get expensive seeing as every time it turns out just to be my pills. Any other signs I can look for?
If you're taking a pill that makes you skip period, I know there are a few, then get on a one month cycle. It's safer, and healthier. That way you'll always know when you're not pregnant.

Another way to be sure, is don't let him ejaculate into you. that way you won't worry and you can be on the pill you want.
