Could Having Unprotected Sex While Being On Birth Control Cause Pregnancy?
Hi, doctor. My question is about unprotected sex during the use of birth control. I started both my period and birth control on Sunday, March 23rd and had unprotected sex on April 19th. My periods are irregular and that was my main reasoning for going on birth control. I am at the beginning of my 4th week of contraceptives and have not gotten my period yet. What is the likely hood that having had unprotected sex on the 19th could result in pregnancy? I did not take emergency contraceptive immediately following.
