Can I Get Pregnant if I Take Birth Control After Sex?

7 Comments

Star writes, “hey hannah my naame is star and im 16 years old and i think im pregnant because my boyfriend and i had sex like may 8th and we didnt use a condom and we had sex for like some hours and he never pulled out he just kept sexing me then when we were done itook my birth control and that was like 3 or 4 in dda morning then we had sex again.. can i be since i took the birth control after sex??? then we also had sex on monday nigth the 11th of may but i dnt think he came in me but it was also unprotected.. and my period jus came on yesterday.. but ive been sleeply lately.. my boobs are tender my stomach is getting a little hard and its hard were your pants go that part of my stomach. can i be preegnant???“

Dear Star,

Are you on a daily birth control pill? Are you taking it faithfully every day (i.e. no misses)? Is your period that just started “behaving” like your normal period? If you can answer “yes” to all three of these questions, then I wouldn’t be too worried, if I was you.

Some of these symptoms could accompany a regular period and, thus, wouldn’t be definite signs of pregnancy. If you are experiencing your regular period, then you are not pregnant; if you were pregnant, then you’d miss your period, because your body would be entering “pregnancy gear” and preparing to make another human being inside you. If you still aren’t sure, then wait a couple of days until your period ends and take a urine pregnancy test.

One more question: Do you know the brand of your birth control pills?

Best of luck,

Hannah

    I started my regular period on March 10th, its usually 32 days and we had unprotected sex between the 24th and 28th. I believe I had a very small amount of spotting on the 8th of April, 2 days before when I was suspecting my period on the 10th.

    My breasts are now VERY sensitive and I feel like I have to pee all the time. I also do seem tired a lot and am wondering if I could possibly be pregnant or if my mind is playing tricks on me?

    We were kind of trying for a baby so I don’t want to take a hpt with my hopes up and was wondering your opinion? Since I think my period should have come on the 10th, how much longer should I wait before testing as it is now the 13th.

    I’m On The Birth Control Pill ( Mononessa ) & I Take It Every Morning At 12:30. My Boyfriend Stayed The Night With Me On March 7th & The Next Morning When We Woke Up We Had Unprotected Sex At Around 8. And I Didnt Take My Birth Control Until 12:30. Could I Be Pregnant ? How Worried Should I Be ? I Have Brown Discharge .. But I Heard That If Your On Birth Control You Could Have Some Brown Discharge A Few Days Or Even A Week Before Your Period. Please Someone Help Me!!
