Getting pregnant while taking the pill?

[scentednappyhag]

I know I'm probably just panicking myself into a symptom spotting fruit cake, but how likely is it that I could be pregnant while taking the pill?
I missed one about 7 weeks ago, and took it the next day along with the regular one, and I've been carrying on through the breaks as I wanted to skip my periods for a while.
I didn't think anything of missing one, but have felt nauseous for a couple of weeks now, very tired/tearful and had heartburn yesterday, which I've only ever had while pregnant.
Am I being paranoid? I am aren't I?
I don't have the room or money to have another baby, and I'm too scared to do a test.
Someone please slap some sense into me!

Well there's only one way to find out either way and that is to test. The earlier you know for sure the better?

FWIW I fell pregnant recently whilst on the pill.

I fell pg on the pill and hadn't even missed one!

Go POAS

I know, I was semi hoping someone would say 'of course you're not, now go and eat some cake then get on with the washing up.', or something like that
I'm going to have to test aren't I... Should have put one on the tesco shop being delivered this afternoon!
