Birth Control & Pregnancy: What to Do After Unprotected Sex

Question
Okay, I had unprotected sex on the last Sugar pill in my pack, and I also had unprotected sex on the first day of the protected pill. I've been on Birth control for a couple months now, but I heard somewhere that you can get pregnant on the sugar pill, even after your period. Is this true? Could I be pregnant now?

Answer
Hi Mary,
I'm not a medical professional but I know that no birth control method is 100% safe for preventing pregnancy. I don't know the exact percentage but there is always a percentage of women who get pregnant on any method of birth control. If you want to get a free pregnancy test, go to http://www.optionline.org and find a free center in your area. Also, I hope you will email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens and how you are doing.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
