I Need Some Help!
Posted: 02-25-07 20:59pm

Ok, this may seem stupid, but Im worried and need to know. I've been taking birth control since Feb. 3rd. My fiance and I have been having unprotected sex since then. There were about 3 times when he ejaculated in me. Is there a chance that I could be pregnant, even though Im still taking the pill?
I've been feeling weird. My breast are really sore, and Ive noticed my appititate has changed. But this could be anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

well if u .j.u.s.t started taking b/c this month then yes you could be pregnant, they tell you to wait atleast a month before having unprotected sex because the b/c wouldnt be effective yet until the 2nd package of it

More than likely it is a side effect of the pill you are feeling. Pregnancy symptoms would never show up this early.

Continue taking your pills as prescribed. Only test if you miss your period.

Technically it takes approximately 7 days for the pill to be effective - not a month.

moved to birth control

and the leaflet in your pills package will tell you how many days to avoid unprotected sex for after you start the first pack or if you miss pills.

Although I did feel pregnancy symptoms at only 2 wks and found out i was preg at believe it or not..........2 1/2 wks!!!!!!!! I found that to be amazing. But I believe you are probably feeling the side effects of the pill.

You're not really correct.

Many pills become effective immediately if you take them on the first day of your period. If you start in the middle of a cycle, the pills are effective after one month.

The only reason to wait a whole month would be for person security issues (I personally waited a month before tossing the condoms!), or if the pills themselves said that you need to wait that long. Most, however, do not.
