Dear Shakira,
I’m a little puzzled here. Could you tell me what kind of “pills” you took after having sex with your boyfriend? I’m assuming the pills were not normal birth control pills but emergency contraceptive pills such as the i-pill or Next Choice or Plan B. Assuming that you took some sort of emergency contraceptive the next evening after you had sex, it’s not uncommon to experience what may appear to be a period; we call that withdrawal bleeding, and it tends to occur when you take emergency contraceptives shortly after your last period ended. Based on this, no, I don’t believe that you are pregnant.
However, it always pays to be certain with a pregnancy test, as you mentioned. For best results, you’ll want to take the 1st home pregnancy test about 30 days after your last “real” period ended (ignoring the withdrawal bleeding). Then, if that one is negative, you can take a 2nd home pregnancy test about a week later. My bet is that both will come back negative. Your chance for becoming pregnant is very slim.
Best luck,
Hannah
