Answer
Hi Megan,

Thanks for your question. Since I don't know what kind or brand of birth control pills you are taking, I am wondering if you are saying that you are on the placebo pills at this point? I can't really say if you are pregnant. You will have to take a test. No method of birth control is 100% safe from STD's or pregnancy. Even if you take birth control pills and use condoms, there is still a slight chance of pregnancy. If you want to find out where to get a free pregnancy test and advice/support go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP.
