I have been on birth control since July of 2011. My boyfriend and I had sex without using a condom but he pulled out. I always take my pills between 8 and 11 at night and I cannot remember the last time I missed a day. I was supposed to get my period 2 days ago and it still has not come so I took a Plan B pill. Could I be pregnant?

There was no need to take a Plan B pill. Plan B should only be used if your method fails or you have unprotected sex, not to bring on a period.

Please don’t panic. Sometimes, when you’ve been on the pill for a while, you can miss a period every now and then. All it means is that no blood built up inside the uterus. When there is no blood, you skip a period.

Of course, pregnancy is always a possibility if you have sex (even when you use your method perfectly), but since you have been so careful about taking your pill on time, I would be very surprised if you would be pregnant. Wait until you start your next pill pack. If you still have had no bleeding at all, take a pregnancy test just for peace of mind. Do not stop taking your pills unless you test positive for pregnancy.
