hey, i was planning on stopping my BCP at the end of the pack i was on, but i forgot my pills at home so i just thought I'd stop that day, which was yesterday cause i only had 4 pills left and I forgot my pills at home that day so I would miss it. I was just wondering I had sex with my bf the day before that happen and without a condom and he came in me, is there any chance I could get pregnant, i took my pill for the day we had sex but should I have took the one the following day? thanks.

You probably should have taken pills for several days after sex, because sperm can live in the body for up to a week. You could have ovulated a few days after you stopped the pill and become pregnant.

HOWEVER, I feel that's very unlikely. You'll know in two weeks, huh? You can test two weeks after you had sex, and the test will be accurate. Also, your period may or may not come as a result of stopping the pills like this, so you really can't depend on that.
