I don't think the birth control is effective yet and I know having semen in you right before your period is bad. I should have started yesterday but I could be late as usual. I'm just really paranoid.

I don't think the birth control is effective yet and I know having semen in you right before your period is bad. I should have started yesterday but I could be late as usual. I'm just really paranoid. I haven't had a period yet. We did wear a condom but it broke. I'm pretty safe when it comes to intercourse, but I'm afraid this time It's going to be a really close call

For women that are have a regular 28 day cycle they usually ovulate 12-16 days before your period. If you don't know, the ONLY time you can get pregnant is when you ovulate. Since this is the days before your period I HIGHLY doubt that you're pregnant.

Also, when you start on birth control it is a hormone that can have many different affects on your body, a late period being one of them. It can take some women a few months for their body to "get the hang of things" and be regular. I was very emotional on BC. Also, some BC will have you start a different color of pill the week of your period, I never started my period until the 4th pill of that week. So you might say I was "late" all the time too.

If you are still late in a week, take a pregnancy test. If you still don't have your period a week after that go to the gyno or doc to get another test.

If you aren't pregnant re-read the directions to make sure you are taking it correctly (usually if you miss two pills, you've messed up that whole month and some pills want you to take it at the same time everyday). I'd also use another form of protection for at least another month.

Good Luck!!!

If you started taking the birth control on the Sunday before your LAST period, AND you have been taking the pills on time, every day, then you are protected. That's the way it works. Intercourse the day before your period is expected isn't any riskier than any other day, and statistically is considerably safer than (for instance) the day two weeks after your period starts, near the time you ovulate.

You REALLY need to learn about birth control and how it works; I'm not trying to be rude, but it is clear that you simply don't understand it. If you don't understand how it works, you're probably not going to use it right, and you're also going be putting yourself through a lot of unnecessary anxiety, which can actually LESSEN your birth control's effectiveness. Talk to your doctor, his/her nurse, or another health care practitioner, and learn so you don't worry about something you don't need to worry about. While it's true that nothing is ABSOULTELY "safe," birth control pills (or other hormonal methods) are by far the most reliable method short of sterilization.

You could be prenant.

My sister was on birth control missed one night and ended up with baby number 4.

I missed my period about every other month, got my period and then found out I was pregant not long after.

Everybody's body is different and works in different ways. You are most likely not pregnant but there is a chance that you could be. The most fertile days are about a week before and a week after your period. Your best bet is to take a pregnancy test. If it is negative go talk to your doctor about it anyway. I didn't find out I was pregant until I was almost 12 weeks along, even after taking test way before that, it never showed up. So just talk to your doctor.

If you had a period after the sexual intercourse, you are probably not pregnant...however, the three weeks of birth control may not be long enough to have prevented pregnancy, and a condom may be helpful during this time to prevent accidental pregnancy as well as diseases. Due to the recent start of the hormones to prevent pregancy, there have been cases where a bleeding was not actually a period but due to a fluxuation of hormones and pregnancy has happened. So, be sure to check. NV the Ancient one

If you started within 7 days of the start of your period (ie either the start the first day of your period, or the Sunday start method) then the birth control pill is effective already -if you have been taking it at about the same time each day and not missed any pills.

However it is still possible to get pregnant on the birth control pill no matter how long you have been on it or how accurately you take it. Failure rates range from 0.3% in the lab to 8% in real life.

# You can start taking the pill on the first day of your period. You will not need a backup method of birth control.
# You can start taking the pill on the Sunday after your period starts. With this method you will have to use a backup birth control method for the next 7 days of the first cycle.

When starting BCPs, it will take 7 days for the pill to become effective at preventing pregnancy. You will need to use a second method of contraception during these 7 days. We recommend using condoms. In fact, we recommend using condoms consistently with BCPs to protect against sexually transmitted infections. Remember that BCPs offer no protection from acquiring STIs.

Day 1 start

* Take the first active pill of the package during the first 24 hours of your menstrual period.
* You will not need to use a backup method of birth control, since you are starting the pill at the beginning of your period.

Sunday start

* Take the first active pill of the package on the FIRST SUNDAY after your period STARTS, even if you are still bleeding. If your period starts on Sunday, you may start your pills the same day.
* Use a backup method of birth control if you have intercourse, until you have taken the next "Sunday" pill of the cycle (seven days after starting the package).

Well it really can be possible, but the best way to go is to go get check out before you really start to think and get depress, but I really don't like birth controls because there not accurate. Just call your doctor and set up an appointment and see, but next time be careful it's other stuff that you can catch.(even if you and your guy been together for a long time)

Penis in baby out. Its not rocket science.

Birth control pills are only 93% effective according to usage. And no, they are not fully functional three weeks after starting, generally it takes 3 months for the hormones to regulate your system and for them to have the opportunity to prevent pregnancy to their fullest ability.

You can get pregnant any day of your cycle, as you can have fluke ovulations without any warning. Its uncommon however to get pregnant right before your period. BUT I have a son we made from sex we had while I was ON my period. Go figure.

Just chill out, wait a few more days and then take a test. Its not uncommon to have a missed or late period when starting birth control.

You may or may not be. One of the dangers of premarital sex. If he loves you and you respect yourself, you will stop having sex with him and wait until you are married. Then you will not have to worry about pregnancy, STD's or the emotional baggage that goes with giving the most intimate thing you have to someone you don't belong to.
