Missed period on the pill...spotting...weird!?

I take my birth control pills as normal. A couple of months ago I started spotting a week before my period and I read this might mean that the pill is not working well on you (I read this yesterday btw, not back then).

I was supposed to have my period on Thursday (last week). I spotted a bit the day before, a bit two days after and then nothing, no period. I also read this can mean I am pregnant. (EHH?). I am going to make a home pregnancy test in a little bit, but if it is negative, why the hell did this happened???

    No form of birth control is 100% effective; you can take your birth control completely properly and use condoms every time, and you can still get pregnant. I'd definitely take a HPT (or two). If it comes out negative, then you should probably switch to a different pill (or other BC form). Either way, make sure you talk to your obgyn about it.

    HOLY ****! Take the HPT when your friend is in town (been there, done that :P)
