Could I be pregnant?

Question

**not sure where to post this** My boyfriend came to visit and instead of taking the pill to delay my period I got any random contraceptive pill and took it during the time I should be on my period. I live in a foreign country, just moved, so my only option was the pharmacy and the woman gave me some birth control pills and told me to take them. I later googled the brand and saw they're low dosage pills or something like that, I'm quite a big girl so I assumed id of needed something stronger and decided to take 2 a day. Instead of starting them at the start of my cycle I started them 5/6 days before my period and didn't wait 7 days before having unprotected sex, it was 2 days after I started taking them, he came in me around 4 times and now I'm not sure if I could get pregnant or not..

I don't need to hear how stupid we are, we don't mind either way, pregnant or not. I only took the pills to stop my period, no intentions to prevent pregnancy and no intentions to get pregnant.. Could I be pregnant?

Answer

Download "Am I pregnant" on the App Store and pee on your phone. That should tell you.

Answer

Lady!!! Take as prescribed! 1 a day at the same time every day. Low dose or not. I'd really get to a doctor who can explain your different options for birth control, and the proper way to use it.

Answer

That's why a pharmacist should not be giving out birth control. Of course there's a chance you could be pregnant! Plus you don't just randomly decide to double up on the pill because it's low dose. You're really messing with your body and hormonal balance.

Answer

Well. It generally takes birth control a full month to become completely effective. And since you didn't even wait the 7 days, it's likely you could get pregnant. Take a look at your cycle and see if you could've been ovulating, as that would higher your chance of getting pregnant.

Answer

Because you had sex a few days before your period, it is unlikely that you had an egg to fertilize but not impossible. Please don't take more than one, it is super unhealthy especially if you are pregnant
