What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy While Being On Birth Control Pills?
Question: I use Sprintec B.C. and have a cycle every two months.
This month I was not scheduled to have one so I went into my second pack.
Three days in I began so I went ahead and took placebo for 5 days then when it ended returned to day four of my pack. I was on the regular pill for 3 days when I had sex. The back up (condom) broke and I am worried I may not be covered just because of the issue mentioned above. Should I take and EC?

Thank you for your response. However, as a side to this yesterday and today I felt exhausted way more than usual and my schedule has been the same. People told me that is a sign I'm becoming pregnant. Am I just paranoid? Thanks.
Brief Answer:
DONT WORRY
Detailed Answer:
It is not at all a reliable sign of pregnancy.
Yes, I think you are being unnecessarily worried.
WHen did you have this episode of unprotected sex that has got you worried ?

Sunday afternoon?
Brief Answer:
CHANCES OF PREGNANCY ARE NEXT TO NIL
Detailed Answer:
Assuming you ARE pregnant ( which I do not believe, as the BC has you well protected ), you would not show the signs so early.
Also, as per your history, you had sex on day 8 of your cycle, if I am right, so again, you would not have ovulated so soon.
Relax, I do not think there is a chance of pregnancy.
Take care.
