Can Pregnancy Happen While On Birth Control Pills?

I am using the birth control yaz. This is my second month on it and the first month my period came when i was on my 3rd white pill and it ended up lasting a week. I had unprotected sex while i was on my last active pill and now i am getting ready to start my new pack on sunday and i have not gotten my period. i know there is a possibility of pregnancy but how soon is too soon to take a test and get accurate results?

Hallow Dear,

Birth control pills have almost 99% success rate in preventing the pregnancy. You had period while you were on the 3rd white pill. It is fine.

You should get period in this month also. I do not feel there is any reason to worry about. Please do not wait for the period to appear; start your next pack on Sunday as scheduled.

The pregnancy test on urine gives reliable results about 8-10 days after missed period. These test are best performed on the overnight morning first urine sample.

I hope this helps you.
