I am on a birth control pill, but have been awful about taking it this month. The doctor messed it up and I was 2 days late starting it (so instead if tarting the pack Sunday I started it on Tuesday) . I had unprotected sex the weekend following the start and realized I missed my Friday pill. I then forgot to take a couple pills the next week and also had unprotected sex that weekend. I had some spotting and almost like a period for a few days I’m assuming from missing all the pills. I gave up and just said I would start the pills the next weekend and do it right but I had unprotected sex this last Friday. I am supposed to get my actual period today but I’m just wondering if I have anytbing to be worried about pregnancy wise and if I should be expecting my period to be on time or later. Thanks

Hi Allie,
Whenever you have sex, whether you are on birth control or not, there is always a chance for pregnancy. Birth control and condoms aren’t ever 100% effective. If you are wondering if you are pregnant, you can take a pregnancy test generally 7 to 10 days after sex. If you go to http://www.optionline.org and do a search, you can find a pregnancy resource center near you that can give you a free and confidential pregnancy test.Usually when people have sex the biggest thing they are worried about is pregnancy. You can only get pregnant during a few days out of the month; however, you can get a sexually transmitted disease any time you have sex. To protect your health and safety, I would suggest a STD test at your local health department. There is nothing shameful about it, it’s just something everyone has to do if they are sexually active.

Only a test is the sure way of determining pregnancy. So take a test and confirm.
