Dear Nervous,
For me to help, I’m going to have to bombard you with questions, so bear with me. What kind of birth control was it? What brand? How long had you been taking it before stopping it? If you don’t mind me asking, why did you stop taking it?
And, some more questions :) When did your last period begin and end? How regular is your period (in other words, does it come predictably)? How many days long is your menstrual cycle? When did you have sex? Did you just have sex one day or multiple days?
Once you get back to me with answers to my zillion questions, I’ll see what I can do :)
Thanks!
Hannah

Im taking the generic yaz. And have been for on the pill for a couple years and I stopped taking it because I hadnt gone to my yearly check up yet and got them refilled. My period is normal and My last period was like february 2 til like feb 7 and we had sex feb 17 and it was just that day, one time.
Hannah says
Hmmm … you have some risk of getting pregnant from that incident. It’s hard to really know how much of a risk, though. The thing with birth control (even yaz) is that sometimes it takes a little while for ovulation to resume after stopping. However, some girls ovulate very soon after stopping birth control while for others it takes a couple months. I’d say you probably are in the 10% realm of getting pregnant from that incident (hopefully less). You definitely should do a pregnancy test – probably one around March 7ish and then a second one on March 14 (assuming the first test is negative).
Nervous says
Okay. Thanks so much for your help!
Hannah says
Sure thing, Nervous!

[email protected] Early Can You Test for Pregnancy says
Most medical doctors make use of the common home pregnancy tests. But with blood tests, you can actually determine the accurate amount of hCG produced. Urine tests on the other hand will only verify pregnancy if the hormone hCG is present at a level that is high enough to verify it. A test is considered positive when the hCG level is 5mlU/L or higher. This is why you never can tell when should I take pregnancy test with a urine test.

My boyfriend and I had thought I was pregnant cuz I was gaining weight and had symptoms but turns out it was my birth control…loestrin gildess fe 1/20…well during that time my boyfriend advised me to stop taking my birth control just to be safe. I wasnt taking it for about two weeks. Well during the time of not being on birth control we had unprotected sex three times. Could I end up pregnant?

I was on ortho tri cyclen for about 8 months and stopped taking it because it was making me sick. About 5 days after I stopped taking them, I had a normal period, but 2 days after my period stopped me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex. Is there any chance that I could be pregnant?? Please help!!!
