I am on birth control, but I often forget to take it. Sometimes I miss it for two or three days and realize I haven’t taken it. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex two weeks ago, and he ejaculated inside me. We also had unprotected sex again about a week ago, and he ejaculated inside me again. How long after can you tell if you’re pregnant? Is there a high possibility that I could be pregnant?

Yes, there is a high chance that you could be pregnant. The more frequently you have unprotected sex, the more likely it is that you will become pregnant. Since you do not take your pills consistently, you cannot rely on them as birth control. When you frequently miss pills, your cycle becomes irregular. When you body does not have consistent levels of hormones, there is a good chance of ovulation.

If your next period is more than 1 week late, do a pregnancy test. If you are not pregnant, you may want to consider another birth control method, like the DepoProvera injection, that does not require you to remember it daily.
