Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills?
I am assuming that the reason you got off birth control, especially if still sexually active, is because you didn't like what the hormones were doing to you, have read about the side effects and decided to stop. ON the other hand, you also do not know what non hormonal contraception is out there.
As you've been told, if you have a period or are starting one, then you can not be pregnant.
The morning after pill also called Plan B can be taken within 72 hours after you've had unprotected sex, Plan B One-Step can reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 89%. If you take Plan B One-Step within 24 hours, it is about 95% effective. this last sentence is straight from a website on Plan B and I am listing the link for you to read through, it is important info dear.

Women have gotten pregnant at times close to or during period. Lots has to do with how long a viable sperm can live inside you until you ovulate. So if you are counting the 72 hr limit, thats up to 3 days after. So if sperm from Friday were to meet with a fertile egg of yours if your egg was still not too old, yes, you could be pregnant and from Friday night to Monday night is already 3 days so taking Plan B anytime today or after is going to have little effect to preventing a pregnancy. Also if you are trying to avoid hormones, Plan B is a larger dose of hormones and can produce side effects in a gal even if the regular pill didn't. So you are more at the point of having to wait long enough for the pregnancy hormones in your body to show if you took a pregnancy test. Over-the-counter home pregnancy kits can detect pregnancy as early as six days after conception, or one day after a missed menstrual period. So if sperm from Sunday did the trick, then you'd have to wait until 6 days after which could be late Saturday or this coming Sunday. Heres the website about pregnancy tests

If you are going to continue having sex hon, you are going to need to be on some kind of contraceptive. If you'd like to hear of gentler methods on the female body that I am familiar with, let me know. But that would be a good discussion to have with your Dr. the non hormonal options if thats important to you.

If you are getting your period you can't be pregnant. Remember what your period does for you. It cleans out the lining of your womb to get it ready for your next cycle to accept implantation of a fertilized egg.
Now I will tell you that there have been times where a women has bled like she has gotten her period all through a pregnancy. This is very rare, in general a period tells you that you are not pregnant.
There are two things you can do to insure you are not pregnant.
1. Take the Ipill, the plan B pill or morning after pill as they are known. The Ipill has been known to be effective up to 7 days after coitus, intercourse.
2 Purchase a home test kit. Follow the directions on the box as to when to test. Generally you must wait 10 days after coitus to take the test.
Doing one or both of these should put your mind at rest as to whether or not your pregnant. If you do nothing and continue to worry about being pregnant I can almost guarantee you will miss your period. More periods are missed over stressing out over being pregnant then actually being pregnant.
Short answer to your question is: If you get your period you should not be pregnant. You can confirm this with a home pregnancy test.
