What Are The Early Symptoms Of Pregnancy?
I need to know if I am pregnant. I have been on birth control for a couple months now, however I took the pill late one day by about 8 hours. On this day my Husband and I had sex. He never came in me, and we used a condom about halfway through. I stopped taking my birth control and though it has been two days I still have not had my period. Please help me.

Hi,
If you have taken just 1 pill 8 hours later, and all your other pills have been regular then it is very very unlikely that you are pregnant.
Oral contraceptive pills are very effective method of contraception if taken regularly and 8 hour late would not be accountable in case of combined estrogen with progesterone pill.
So do not worry you should be getting your period in a weeks time. If not do a pregnancy test after a week and see a gynecologist .
Hope this helps.
