can i start my birth control pills again before getting my period? help?!


Question: Can i start my birth control pills again before getting my period? help?
so heres the story, let me know if i should be nervous and if theres any chance i can be pregnant.

i stopped taking birth control for medical reasons for a month. i had sex about a week after my period ended. we used a condom but as soon as he finished once, he immediatly took that one off and put a new one on without cleaning himself and we did it again. i thought nothing of it at the time but can i still be pregnant?

now i am about 3 days late getting my period, but this is my first month of birth control for about two years. can i go back on birth control right now before getting my period? should i be worried about being pregnant or should i be okay? help! thanks

Answers:

If your period lasts 4/5 days (I'm estimating you don't say), having sex a week later, would bring you to cycle day 11/13 very close to ovulation.
Condoms on, condoms off.. Make it extremely hard to judge, however you've around a 20-25% chance of getting pregnant.

Taking the pill is fine, however it your pregnant it won't make sod all of a difference.

As your late send him out to buy a test, it'll be accurate.
The very best of luck.

** edit**
Changing condoms was a good thing to do, and will hugely reduce your risk of pregnancy. If this happens again please consider the morning after pill. The spermicide on the condom should have more than covered the both of you. Any other queries e-mail me as I don't always re-check my answers.



There is always a chance you could be pregnant and you should take a pregnancy test before you start taking birth control pills again. Then if you are not pregnant I think you are supposed to wait until the sunday after your period starts or something like that. You should talk to your doctor, and you definitely don't want to take the pills if you could be pregnant.
