Am I Pregnant Answer A6595
It is quite possible that you might be pregnant, given the absence of taking your birth control pills and having unprotected sex. When you miss several pills, the ovary has an opportunity to produce an egg because the hormones from the birth control pills are not sufficient to prevent ovulation. You might want to take a pregnancy test and if it is negative, repeat it again in one week.
