Q: birth control help

I take birth control regularly, just to make it clear. I had my period and six days later i had sex without a condom. How would I know if my birth control failed? Considering I wouldn't be getting my period for awhile, what signs may come up? I won't be able to tell if i skipped a period because I just had it. And in the even that I do skip one, it will be to late for plan B.

I need help A-S-A-P

If you've been taking your pills correctly without any problems, then you're safe. That's the whole point of taking those pills Wink

If you've had some mistakes towards the end of your last pack or started your new pack at the wrong time then consider plan b.

You can take a pregnancy test two weeks after sex if you are really freaked out. Or just wait the month out if you miss your period then test.
