Hello
Thanks for your query.
If you have stopped taking ALthea, and had unprotected intercourse, then there is definitely a possibility that you are pregnant.
PLease use protection in future.
if you miss your period, take a pregnancy test.
Birth control pills are supposed to be used consistently and sincerely
Take care.
