Had Unprotected Sex. Took Birth Control Pills. Pregnant?

I had unprotected sex about 4 weeks ago and my period should start about now. I have had some cramps but i just started a new type of birth control and haven't started yet. I also looked online and found the amount of birth control to take that equals the Plan B pill and took them awhile after. Am I pregnant or am I just psyching myself out?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If you had unprotected intercourse at the time of ovulation then there is possibility of pregnancy.
But delay in periods always may not indicate pregnancy and that can occur due to many causes.
Birth control pills can act as emergency pill when taken in sufficient dosage but they should be taken within 72 hours of the intercourse.
So now you check for pregnancy once with the kit and depending o the result proceed further.

Take care.
