Am I pregnant?!?
I'm on birth control and usually take my pill at bedtime. I wasn't able to get my refill and start my new pack on schedule. I was to start the new pack on 3/27(Tuesday) and ended up starting it on 3/28(Wednesday) at the usual time. I took the two pills at the same time. I've had unprotected sex 3 times since then, cautiously if that makes sense. My boyfriend is really worried I an pregnant but I don't think so...can someone help me out?! Or tell me where I can look...Thanks!
I've been on birthcontrol for over 4 years and thats how long I've been with my boyfriend. We don't use condoms because I'm really good about taking my pill on time.

Extending your placebo week is never good, which is what you did. Normally, doubling up doesn't do much at that point. That said, after 7 days of taking active pills you would have been fully protected again.
That said, if this ever happen again, just take 1 pill when you get your refill. It will just mean you'll have a new start date. If your pack is suppose to start on Sunday, take it on Monday. When it's time to start your new pack, if you perfer to go back to your previous start date, you can start a pack a day early. Starting a pack of pills earlier is always fine, anymore than 7 days without active pills can leave you open for pregnancy. If you have to extend your placebo week (meaning you don't take an active pill) again, make sure you wait 7 days before having unprotected sex. You are fully protected in 7 days.
All that said, wait & see if you get your period this month. Starting your pills late could cause your period to come on a different day than usual, so wait until day 5 or 6 of your placebo week to test just to make sure.
Also, plan B (or the morning after pill) can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sex. You can take this when you're not on birthcontrol or if you've had something happen with your birthcontrol, such as missed pills & such. It may be worth looking into if any of the sex you've had has been in the past 5 days.
Long answer short, I think there is a chance you've risked pregnancy but it's impossible to give you an exact percentage.

That's really tooo soon t tell if you are pregnant. More than likely you arn't pregnant, especially if you have been on the pill for a while. if you are usually on time with your period and are late next month, i then would take a pregnancy test.... I know this sounds weird, but if you start thinking you are pregnant in your head, you really start to develop symptoms.

You let him ejaculate in you knowing you started your pills late? Then, you did the nasty 3 times knowing you started your pills late? Starting a day late- of course is no threat- b/c u did the right thing to take two pills that night. WoW- u are playing it Very close. If I start my pills late- theres NO way I'm playing around. You may be ok- but to be on the safe side- go on and get a pregnancy test(i hate to say that) but (Better Safe Than Sorry)-

properly, whether or no longer you pick to tell the two of your mom and dad, you could desire to. there is not any way she would be able to pass and get an abortion, if she needed to, devoid of an person recent thinking she's underage. there is not any way that her mom and dad are not basically going to word. you could desire to pass to the wellbeing practitioner and if she does it is going to pass below her mom and dad' coverage, which will boost flags. think of of all the failings that would desire to pass incorrect. i understand you men pick to maintain it maximum in all probability, yet you're extra desirable off adopting it out or the different option. the way the international is going precise now you would be fortunate in case you're no longer homeless quickly your self. i'm particular you're responsive to the great melancholy, properly what is going on now could be plenty worse and have faith me, she does not pick to be pregnant and out on the streets. Any rigidity she has now on an analogous time as she's pregnant will pass to the infant and reason the infant to finally end up having extreme blood stress for the time of that's existence. something that occurs on an analogous time as the infant is interior the womb will result it as quickly because it comes out. The womb is the 1st ecosystem the place slightly one starts off to verify how the international works. If the infant is born with a incapacity are you waiting to shelter it? Many adults will abandon a baby that as a incapacity. i will provide help to already know now which you're extra desirable off going to college and getting a great coaching. you could desire to the two provide up the infant or the different option. in case you communicate on your mom and dad and tell them that it fairly is your plan you're extra in all probability to have an much less complicated time handling them. good success and sorry for the lecture, yet I figured that's some thing i'd tell adults that are basically popping out toddlers as properly. EDIT: a woman could have slightly one at that age. The youngest mom on record became 7 or 9 i think. Her uncle raped her and he or she have been given pregnant. young toddlers mature speedier in recent times. There are ladies having sessions in kindergarten and coming up breasts.

Usually women have very little chances of getting pregnant right away if they have been taking birth control for so long. Four years is long. I would be surprised if you actually got pregnant.

That's what you get for having unprotected sex. Taking two pills at once will only help you catch up to where your levels SHOULD be. It doesn't make it any stronger or worse.
When you're on the pill, you shouldn't have unprotected sex for this very reason. The pill is not 100%, nor is vaginal foam, IUDs or condoms.
BE CAREFUL.
If you're pregnant, I'm sorry, but you asked for it.
