Hi, Im 20 years old and I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend during my ovulation dates. Im on Orsythia, a birth control pill. This is my second month on it and I have breakthrough bleeding. Its about a week before my period now. And its also about a week since I had the unprotected sex. Im just concerned if I may be pregnant or not. I take my birth control very regularly. Ive never missed a day or been more than an hour or two late taking it. However, I didnt know that I had sex during the ovulation days till later on. But I guess on birth control you dont ovulate? Im confused on that. My main question though is if I had unprotected sex during my supposed ovulation days while on birth control, could I be pregnant?
Hello, On regular intake of birth control pill gives protection near about 99% against unwanted pregnancy. Here, pregnancy rate is less than 1% and occurs only after failure of the pill. First time pill user may get irregular spotting or bleeding before period for initial 1-2 months until hormone is adjusted to body system. However, you can undergo one home pregnancy test if you miss next period. It helps to clear confusion. Good luck.
