On Birth Control Pills. Early Periods. History Of Skipping Pills For A Day Followed By Unprotected Sex. Sure Of Non Pregnancy?

I had my period on september 1. I started the birth control pill on september 5. I didn't take the pill on september 11 and had unprotected sex in which my boyfriend ejaculated in me. I didn't take the pill on september 12 but took 2 on september 13 and continue taking it as usual until september 17. I had an early period which started on september 21 but my normal period was suppose to have been on september 29. Does this mean am definitely not pregnant because I really don't want to be. Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) have to be taken daily according to the regime.
However, if you forget to take the pill, take it immediately as soon as you remember.
If one day has elapsed since you took the pill, take two pills as soon as you remember.
However, if you remember you missed pill after this period, the whole regime has to be continued from next month.
Some other method of contraception is required for that month.
You can take up pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Thanks and take care
