Birth control pills, pregnancy chance, I am so confused :(

July 17, 2008

this is a little confusing.. this month, on july 8th, i started my period and planned on starting bcp's on the following sunday. that sunday about an hour before i started the pills, i had unprotected sex. (my period had stopped.) he pulled out, and did not ejaculate until later. i figured if i took the pills right after sex, and that i had just finished my period, it would make chances pretty small. it has been a little under a week now, and i work outside painting buildings outside. i have been very sick every day because the pills make me extremely sensitive to sunlight. (serious migrains, eye pain, nauseausness, just all around bad.) I have not had sex since that one time. however i think i'm going to stop the pills today. I have taken about four or five. my question is, how high are the chances of pregnancy, and what should i expect for a period and when? I'm really nervous. :(

Welcome Karleigh,

You can expect some very light spotting a couple of days after stopping your last pill, and this will be considered the beginning of your cycle...chances of pregnancy are low (assuming your cycle length is at least 27 days)...

always best to take some form of birth control to try and prevent pregnancy
