Took birth control for only one month then stopped. Is it possible I could be pregnant even though I took the pill? I took it once every day but at different times... My period is now four days late.

Question

Answer

It takes a month to even become effective.

Answer

I took the pill too at different times. I ran out. My periods over a month late.

Answer

To the 5% saying it isn't possible, you obviously don't understand how the pill works! The pill is not 100% effective first of all so there's still always a chance, a very very small one, but still a chance! That chance also increases if you don't take it properly at the same time everyday and/or haven't been on it very long. Also, it takes some time to become effective, between 1-4 weeks depending on what pill it is. So yes, there is absolutely a chance you can be pregnant.

Answer

Birth Control is not 100% effective. You have to take it everyday around the same time everyday. If you only took it a month it may not have worked as well. It's best to take a test.

Answer

It takes a month to become effective. I'm sure your doctor explained that. Heck TLC explains that with every baby special. You are suppose to wear condoms or other contraceptives with it while your body gets use to if.

Answer

I got pregnant the month after I stopped birth control and I was on it for 5 years before that

Answer

My mother was on birth control when she got pregnant with me. Birth control doesn't always stop you from getting pregnant. You could be pregnant.
