Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
yes its possible what most women mistake is they think that your completely safe with birthcontrol but its not true because my mom got pregnet 2 with birthcontrol so i would get it checked out just to be on the safe side good luck and happy holidays

MY best advice to you is to get on the shot because you wont have your period you only need it every three months and yes you can get pregnant on pills definatly because if you takee it at different hours or miss a day it can screw it up and dont work as affectintly and the patch is the same if you forget to change it or it falls off plus that stuff is really easy to lose ive been on birth controll for like 3 years now and i tryed almost every kind personlly i think the depo vera shot is the best cuz there can be no mistakes but you should also where a condom to to protect from stds and make it less likly for that one percent to take a chance

No matter what form of protection you take, there's always a slight chance of becoming pregnant ( unless you got your tubes tied or something which I don't think you want to do haha ).
But I really wouldn't worry all too much. The pill is 99.9% effective, and where the pill won't help, if you just use a condom, it'll help protect you even more. Double-protection is always the best way to go to prevent pregnancy.
Also, there may be multiple reasons why your periods late. Sometimes they can just tend to be irregular, one time I didn't get my period all month, it just skipped a month ( know I WOULD'VE been worried I was pregnant but I knew I wasn't cause I haven't had sex yet, lol ). So just wait a little while longer. Also, are you getting worried and majorly stressed about this? Stress can actually also cause your period to become somewhat late. THis happened to my friend she thought she was pregnant because her period became late and she got even MORE worried and stressed out and it made it even later. So like the others suggested, just wait it out a little longer, and then if you still don't have your period, you can always go p urchase a pregnancy test at the drugstore or wherever or go to the clinic and get it done there if you feel more comfortable with that.
And always buy a couple tests ; just to make sure they all come out the same. Sometimes one pregnancy test can turn out wrong, so you don't want to be buying just one and thinking you're pregnant or something when you're really not.
I hope I helped.

its more likely if u had un protected sex. the pill is only 99.9% effective. in some cases ppl think theyre pregnant but stress and increase of hormone levels can make your period come late too. so go to a health clinic and have a pregnancy test taken its free and you'll know for sure.
hope i helped:)

It's possible, but VERY unlikely. Don't stress over it. You're not that late. If you still haven't gotten your period by the 17th or so, see your doctor just to check to see if anything is wrong. There's a greater chance that its something else affecting your period than you being pregnant. Good luck. Did you get the IUD recently? The IUD itself could somehow be screwing your cycle up. I wish you luck and I hope that everything works out for you. Again, don't worry just yet. :)

It is, if you've had unprotected sex and are late on your period. Birth control, whether they advertise it to be fool proof, is not. There's always still a chance for and egg to become fertilized. My advice to you is to see a doctor for a pregnancy test instead of a home test.
Since your last period was over a month ago, I'm assuming you ARE late. Get tested, and find out for sure. My daughter was concieved while I was on birth control, so I know for a fact, beyond medically, it IS possible.
