I Stopped Taking My Birth Control, Could I Be Pregnant ?

I stopped taking my birth control for a week, two weeks ago, cuz I thought I was pregnant. I've been back on it for two weeks but had unprotected sex. I've been on it for almost a year. Could I be pregnant?

I'm not saying you not pregnant but after being on the birth control pill for a long period of time the chemicals and what not will still be in your system for a while after you stop taking it!

To be sure though I would suggest that you head down to your local chemist or major retailer like "tesco" and pick up a pregnancy test to be sure! I've even seen them in pound shops if your short on cash!
