Pregnant.
This is very embarassing to ask, but im sure you`ve heard worse so bare with me here.
Awile ago I had sex for the first time.. and it was towards the END of my period....so there was no disgusting stuff or anything like that..
but anyways
he didnt wear a condom so i was afraid i would get pregnant.. but 4 days later i started taking the pill..(birth control not the day after pill)
which i THINK kills the sperm when you take it..
so there`s no chance i could be pregnant right?
I mean I was on my period, it was my first time, AND i started taking birth control 4 days later.

Pregnancy is always a possibility when a penis has been in a vagina.
It makes no difference whether or not it was your first time. If it was at the end of your period (days 5-7 in your cycle), it's important to note that the latest research shows that sperm can live for up to 7 days in your body - and this takes you into our most fertile period.
Birth control does not kill babies. Emergency contraception, taken as quickly as possible after unprotected sex, will prevent a fertilized egg from implanting, thicken the cervical mucus and make it harder for sperm to get through in the first place, etc. Normal birth control is not in such a large dose.
In fact, birth control pills can seriously harm a fetus. If there is a chance you could be pregnant, you need to stop taking the pill.
Wait until you get your period before you begin again. Most doctors would have you start the pill either on the first day of your period, or on the first Sunday after the start of your period. It is most effective to begin the pill at this time, and then it's best to use a second form of contraception (like a condom) for the first month of use while your body adjusts.
If you've started the pill at a random time in your cycle, this will impact its effectiveness and could take your body longer to adjust.
Basically, stop the pill now. Do not have anymore unprotected sex. When you get your period, begin the pill again - AFTER carefully reading the instructions. Start a fresh pack.
Make sure you are using a condom as well for at least the first month, and longer if there is a chance of your boyfriend giving you an STD.
And you should also book an appointment with a gyno, as this is a way to make sure everything's okay with you - normally done when a girl is 16 - 18 or when she begins having sex. Your doctor will also be able to advise you on the correct use of the pill.
Best of luck.

when you start birth control, the directions that come in it tell you to wait at least a month before having unprotected sex. just because you started taking it FOUR DAYS after you had sex does not mean you aren't pregnant. don't have sex without a condom, because you're just asking for it. & it doesn't "kill" the sperm.

You ALWAYS run the risk of pregnancy when you have sex. Even on your period. Even if it's your first time. Even if you are on birth control (which by the way does NOT kill sperm).
The fact that you do not know this is really disturbing. You shouldn't be having sex unless you understand your body and how it works and you take every measure possible to prevent an accident.
Do not play with fire.

Of course there's a chance you could be pregnant. Every single time you have sex you run the risk of pregnancy, despite the fact that you're using contraception. Birth control won't kill the sperm-- it tricks your body into thinking its pregnant so it doesn't release some type of hormone that I don't know the name of. Getting pregnant can be a long process- up to 16 days- & birth control usually takes around a week to become effective - so if you weren't impregnated during those first 11 days, you should be fine.
But don't be foolish-- you CAN get pregnant on your period, and it doesn't matter that it was your first time. You cannot prevent pregnancy by jumping up and down or douching afterwards, either.

There is a slight chance that you can get pregnant while on your period. The birth control pill does nothing to the sperm. It works on your body to prevent ovulation. If you don't ovulate, there's no egg to be fertilized. However, not even the birth control pill is 100% effective. Also, while the birth control pill helps to reduce your chances of getting pregnant, it does not protect against STDs.
I would recommend going to your family doctor, health department, or planned parenthood office to be checked out.

if its at the begining or end of you period, its fine. if it was a week after yours, or two weeks before, thats not good.

You have sex, you have the posibility of getting pregnant unless you or your partner are sterile.
Simple as that.
