Had Unprotected Sex. Taken Birth Control. Tender And Swollen Breasts. Am I Pregnant?
Could i be pregnant? I'd been taking the pill for about a month and had unprotected sex with my boyfriend but I had taken a pill a few hours late a couple of days before and took one 14 hurs late again a couple of days after. I've had a period since then but I have noticed my breasts getting tender and slightly swollen. I'm really worried I could be pregnant, if I was I'd be 5 weeks.

Hello,
Taking emergency pill within first 24 hrs gives protection more than 95% against unwanted pregnancy. Withdrawal bleeding appears within 7 days (similar to period).
As you got your period, then chance of being pregnant is less. Though, you need to confirm it by doing one home pregnancy test or blood test for beta-hcg.
Following test report, you need to consult with your gynecologist for next line management.
Wear tight breast support to get relief from discomfort. Good luck.
