Hi, here's my problem. I went on holiday & forgot my pills, duh! ( marvelon) I started taking them as soon as I got back, but about 3 days later I saw my bf ( he wasn't on holiday with me) and in the heat of the moment ( I missed him Embarassed ) I forgot & had unprotected sex. The problem...... I now have a respiratory infection & was prescribed biaxin. I read that it can cause birth defects if taken while pregnant,it is still 6 days till my period is due. The question....... Will a pregnancy test be accuate this early? I need to start these pills but if i'm pregnant I don't want to risk birth defects. My breasts have been kinda sore the past 2 days, but could that be pms?

That could be pms.. But 6 days before your period is definitely too early to take a pregnancy test. I got a positive 3 days before my period was due, with a .First .Response .Early .Result test.. So .I'd wait a few days &then take one.

How soon can you tell that you are pregnant?
Its good to hear that you took yours 3 days before! I have been waiting, stressfully for days! Took one last friday but i supose way too soon! I already have had 4 pregnancies and 3 children! So, I know a little about being pregnant! Just not sure if I want my 4th baby soo bad that I am imagining the symptons! But now...full sore tits and I am excited to take the test but nervouse! I'll tell you what though....if it is positive, I have been experiencing symptons for going on 2 weeks friday! And my period is not due till sometime this week! It is later and later every month! You do know, when you know! Good luck to you ladies out there! Kids are great, stressfull, and rewarding! You won't be alone when your old!
