Is It Possible To Be Pregnant After Having Unprotected Sex?

Hi, I'm a 18 year old college student and been taking Junel Fe for the past 6 months. For the past 6 months, my periods has been coming on the week I don't take my pills because my supply is only 21 days where the next week will allow for my period to start. One month it could be heavy, the next could be very light, or does't have anything at all and varies in length of days when it stops. My boyfriend and I do have unprotected sex and my period has not yet come on the second day where my period should start. Should I be concerned?

If you are taking the pills the way you describe, then you should be protected from pregnancy. You are taking the pills properly. Your period may be very light this time, and that is normal when taking the pills. Some women don't bleed at all with their periods when they are on the pills, especially after taking them for a while. this is normal and nothing to be concerned about. Of course, you can take a pregnancy test to make sure, but I don't think that is necessary at all. Just keep using the pills and you will be fine. I hope this was helpful to you, take care.
