I did some experimenting with birthcontrol over the last month and a half: after ALWAYS takin the pill late, i realized it wasnt for me. So i stopped altogether. When i stopped (17 days ago), i bled. My period should really have come yesterday though.... and it didn't. I had unprotected sex a week ago...... and i can't shake the feeling that I'm pregnant. Is it possible for me to be pregnant or am i way paranoid?

The timing is really bad.
Planned Parenthood 1-800-230-PLAN
Random acts of intercourse achieve a 24% pregnancy rate per cycle.
Having sex on certain days of the cycle has pregnancy rates to 31%-68%
But 25% of pregnancies are lost within the first six weeks since the woman's last menstrual period
Pregnancy tests are not accurate until 1-2 weeks after ovulation.
Emergency contraception are licensed for use up to 72 hours after sexual intercourse The effectiveness of emergency contraception is highest when taken within 12 hours of intercourse and declines over time.
Plan B® is now available without a prescription for consumers age 18 or older, but a prescription is needed for women 17 and younger.
If you live in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts or Washington, you can get Plan B® without a prescription at some pharmacies; however, you should call your pharmacy in advance to make sure they offer and stock Plan B
Mifepristone (Ru-486) is an abortion pill, Plan B prevents the conception.

It is a possibility. If the pill wasn't taken on a regularly scheduled basis, it is less likely to work. It could be that your body is adjusting to just coming off the pill also.
Just wait a couple days, and if you dont get your period, take a pregnancy test... if you cant wait, go to the doctor. They will do a blood test for you to let you know sooner.

I think your being paranoid. when i stopped taking the pill I bled too and i went to my doctor and he said it was natural, Your gonna have irregular periods maybe for a few months now. But then again I can be wrong. Call your doctor and talk to him/her if its really bugging you.

Considering that NO birth control metod is 100% effective and that you didn't take it properly to begin with...gee what do you think? (passes hand over her head and says WOOSH)
