No, if you took the pills properly you probably are not pregnant. The hormones from the previous week protect you for that 4th week. If you are pregnant, and you take the next pack of pills, you will not lose the baby and you won't harm it. They are designed to prevent pregnancy and if you are already pregnant they are useless. If you did not take the last cycle correctly, you could be. Either way, you should get down to planned parenthood to be tested for stds. You'll need to go back to be retested in a month or so as not all stds show up right away. They'll have better information than you'll get here.

You should NEVER have unprotected sex if you do not wish to become pregnant. Anytime you choose to have unprotected sex you run the chance of becoming pregnant...this is the safest assumption to follow.
If you continued taking your birth control pill because you didn't realize you were pregnant, don't be alarmed. Despite years of this accident happening, there's very little evidence that exposure to the hormones in birth control pills causes birth defects.
Still, the birth control pill is a potent estrogen. Once you learn that you're pregnant, stop taking the birth control pill.

The pill is supposed to prevent an egg from leaving your ovaries, whether you are bleeding or not. Changes are (1 out of 1000 women on the pill get pregnant per year) you are not pregnant, but a simple home pregnancy test will let you know for sure. If you are pregnant, you should stop taking the pill immediately. Check out the information that came with your pills for exact details.

Anytime you have unprotected sex, you are risking pregnancy.
BUT, I highly doubt that you are. The pills are in your system and will stay in there for a while. Having sex while on your period doesn't change anything, the odds of getting pregnant are the same everyday if you're on the pill.
Don't worry about it, the pill is used by millions of women for a reason, it works if taken right.
Oh! And if you are pregnant for any reason, the pills will have no effect on the pregnancy unless you take like 20 at once.

While it is possible, but definately not probable. Birth control pills aren't 100% effective. However, in order to get pregnant, one needs to have intercourse while ovulating. It isn't very likely that you were ovulating while you had your period. To be on the safe side, call your doctor.

I don't really think that you are pregnant but if you want to after about 2 weeks take a pregnancy test. If it says you are then stop the bcp and get to a doctor for a check up. Women get pregnant while on bcp's all the time but just stop when you find out and there shouldnt be any problems.

Its highly unlikely you were ovulating while on your period. You should be just fine! So try and relax or the stress may delay your period even more...which you wouldn't want! If you really want to, take an early dection pregnancy test. First response is probably your best bet. :)

if you think you might be then take a test to find out...just because you are on the pill does not mean it cant happen...definetely find out though before starting your next pack of pills

You should probably take an early detection pregnancy test. Although there is a possibility, it is hard to tell without any symptoms.
Hope this helps.
