Hi lee,

how long have you been taking birth control for ? It usually takes at least 2 weeks for the pill to be effective, depending on what type of pill you are taking. (should tell you on the information leaflet inside the pack). If you suspect that you could be pregnant, then you need to wait until your next period is due. Then you can take a home test, or blood tests can be taken earlier (7-12 days after conception). You mentioned you have had 2 periods this month, it sounds as if your body is trying to get used to relying on the new pill to regulate your period. It may take a few months to become regular again. The fact that your periods are so erratic right now, it would be nearly impossible to predict when you are ovulating, if you are at all.

Good luck
