Nausea, Cramps, Change Of Appetite, Headaches, Tender Breasts, Back Pain, Frequent Urination, Unprotected Sex, Pregnant?

I had unprotected sex on Tuesday 17th of December and Thursday 26th of December. I had missed my pill on Monday 16th and carried on not taking my pill incase I had fallen pregnant, because I was not sure if it would damage the foetus. The past few days I have had nausea, stomach cramps, change of appetite, headaches more often than normal, very sore/tender breasts, lower back pain and feel like I need to urinate more. I am wondering if I might be pregnant and when would be a good time to take a test?

Hi
You forgot to take a pill on the 16th and had unprotected sex on the 17th and the 26th. Also you haven't been taking the pills since the 16th. Because you haven't been taking the pill since the 16th there is a possibility of you falling pregnant especially on the 26th. Since almost 2 weeks have passed since the 26th I would suggest to take the pregnancy test now. If it's negative wait for your period for a week and if it doesn't come repeat the pregnancy test.
For future reference missing a single pill will not make you pregnant but missing two can. So as soon as you remember that you have forgotten to take the pill, take one. Let me know if you have any more queries.
Thanks
