Ok making a really long story short. I found out that my boyfriend was getting deployed and we ended up having sex without a condom because we did not have one on hand. I know not the best idea, and please do not harass me about the dangers of no-condom sex. Just answer my question.
Anyway, I am on birth control and as of this month switched to the generic brand. It is pretty much almost the exact same thing as what I was taking but the estrogen and progesterone are just a hair different. (Was on ortho tri cyclene, now on Tri lo sprintec)
Anyway, does this increase my chances of pregnancy? Because we had the condomless sex the first week I was on the new pill.

If you miss you next period though, just go out and buy a pregnancy test. You should be fine though, I did the same thing and nothing happened.

Of course, you still should use a condom anyways. It's amazing how quickly 'not having one on hand' can turn into a permentant situation. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
