On Thursday [day 21 of my pills] I had
unprotected sex with my boyfriend. It was
the last day of taking hormones or "active
pills". I take my pills everyday at almost
the same time. Even though I was taking my
sugar pills, I still didn't get my period.
I got really scared, so on Saturday [day
23] I took about 4 active pills at the
same time. I wanted to do this as a
"Emergency Contraceptive" I guess.
Now it's Monday [day 25] and still no
period.
On Friday was the day I started taking the
sugar pills, and now I'm almost done with
them.
Am I pregnate?
I'm so scared ...

Heck, I don't even get my period until day
4 of the placebo pills, and that's normal
for me...
If you've been taking the pills correctly,
your chances of being pregnant are very
low. What about when you start your
new pack? Do you have a fresh one to
start with?
Taking those 4 pills at once wasn't very
smart. They won't hurt you,
but they probably have delayed your period
even more. You might not even get it now
because of those 4 pills.
Ordinary birth control pills cannot be
used as emergency contraception!!

About the taking birth control pills, I
read this online about it:
[link removed]
I am supposed to start a new pack on day
1, which is Friday.
I'm not sure if I am supposed to take it
or not, because I definetly just
screwed up my whole cycle.

You can if you want to. If you don't, you
won't be protected.

pill anyways?

Yep. You take it anyway. Your period may
or may not come. Again, if you're
paranoid, take a test at that time; it
should be accurate by now. I honestly
don't think you're pregnant.

Yes, as I said, you need to start taking
your new pills.
