Is Pregnancy Possible While Consumption Of Birth Control Pills?
I had a baby a little over 2 months ago. I m not yet on birth control and on new years I had unprotected sex. He pulled out and I took the morning after pill 15 mins after. We did it again like an hour later. I bled a week later for about 5 days and had horrible cramps. Does the bleeding mean that the pill worked? I ve been having minor headaches and have been a bit more tired than usual. And my boobs are somewhat sore. What are the chances I could be pregnant? And when should I take a test?

Hi.
Pregnancy seems unlikely based on the description provided and I really wouldn't worry about it. But if you wish to then you can take a home pregnancy test using an early morning urine sample (ideally after 2 weeks from the date of conception), but it may be taken a little later in your case to allow a more accurate result (3-4 weeks after the day you had unprotected sexual intercourse).
Best wishes.
