Help with an unprotected sex question?

So I was on my week off from my birth control (but not on my period) and in that time I totally forgot and had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. I was going to begin taking them the very next morning, but of course I was busy and now it's three days later and I still haven't started my pills. Should I wait now to start them and take a test? If so then how long do I wait to take the test, like a week?

    First of all, start your pills now. If you are pregnant, it's not going to be an issue. If you aren't, you'll at least get back start on them.

    You should wait at least 3 weeks before testing. Why? Because you would have only now just conceived. Taking the test now will only give you a false sense of ease.

    If you aren't pregnant, you still need to use protection for the next 3-4 weeks of this pack.
