Q: How to know if birth control failed?
asked by: confused57 on December 23rd, 2008

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 are taking your contraception correctly, there is a minimal chance you will become pregnant. You wont know until 2 weeks after the sex when you can take a test, or when you skip a period. Symptoms dont normally show up untill approx 6 weeks. You can get the plan B, but i dont think it is necessary. next time, to ease your mind double up.
