I started birth control two months ago, and Im good about taking it on time, etc, and Ive had one period on the placebo pills.  I had sex for the first time on May 14th and 15th.  I take the birth control as directed, but my boyfriend did not use a condom, and he came inside of me.  Ive come around to the the placebo pills again (they started on Tuesday, May 24th) but I havent gotten my period yet.  Im worried I might be pregnant--whats your opinion?
Hello, Thank you for your query. It is possible to get pregnant while on birth control, but the chances are very less (about 3%).*how long have you been on the pill? *did you start the pill as prescribed? *have you regarding periods so far? (before the pills) I recommend :-wait for Another week after the placebos are over. If no period, take a pregnancy test. If negative wait for Another week and see your ORGAN to check any hormonal imbalances or functional ovarian cysts (which are Benign) that could be causing the delay in periods. Some irregularities in menstrual cycle and flow is expected while starting the pill (about 3 months). This regulates over time. To answer your question specifically - no it is unlikely to get pregnant while on the placebos if you have been taking the pills regularly. The timing of the placebos coincides with the period after ovulation. Hence, no fertilization can occur. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Wish you good health
