Pregnant

[xo_baby_x3]

Me & my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex for about a month now & i'm on birth control but i've been slacking by forgetting to take it everyday. We had sex while i was fertile & i'm pretty sure i didn't take my pill the day before or that day. Could there be a chance that i'm pregnant?

Hi there,

Yes, as you were not taking your pill daily and had unprotected sex there is a chance you could be pregnant. If your period is late you should definitely take a pregnancy test. If the test is negative but your period hasn't arrived after 4 days then you should take another test.

If you are having problems remembering to take your pill every day but want to avoid getting pregnant you might want to consider another method of contraception. We have a guide to all you options here, including 'fit and forget' methods, which might be of interest: bpas.org/js/filemanager/fil...

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Katherine
