Question :
I have been on birth control for over 12 years and have not missed one dose. This past week I had sex without a condom 4 different times, (he did not cum inside of me) and am now a week late. (However my period has always been a little flakey) Should I be worried that I am pregnant?

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

If you have not missed even a single dose of the birth control pill then need not worry about the pregnancy, it looks like your regular delaying of the menstrual cycle.

If any issues, do follow up. Take care.
