When can I take a test to find out if I am pregnant?
Question Posted Monday April 26 2010, 6:00 pm
Ok so stupidly me and my boyfriend had sex whilst on my period (obviously it was in the time i wasnt taking birth control pills) Ive looked online and im worrying because I saw that the birth control pill can kill a baby when your pregnany, seriously harm it or cause miscariages.
What if I am pregnant? We only had sex 2 days ago so I wont be able to take a pregnacy test but If I am pregnant I dont want to harm the baby. Im meant to be taking the pill starting today.. I dont know what to do. Should I stay off it until I take a test? I am still on my period atm and the only thing that makes me stop my period is the pill. I dont know when I can take a test to find out... does anybody know?
No need for a test or worry unless you have pregnancy symptoms. Your chances of being pregnant are the same as they would be any other time of the month while on the pill. Rare. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Your egg has already dropped and since you are flowing, it will be exceptionally hard for the sperm to travel upstream and considering you don't have an egg readily available to fertilize, and sperm can only live in your body a few days, I doubt you are pregnant. Now if you are still worried, I would not continue on the pill nor have sex until you take a pregnancy test a few days before your next period . But the time you are ovulating is about 2 weeks after your menstrual. So I'm going to say that you are not pregnant. And I wouldn't worry too much about it at all girl. seriously. just relax. and remember to keep it safe always. =] hope this helped in the least.

They will know the specifics about taking the pill if you are pregnant, and the earliest that you can take a pregnancy test. And don't do this again, always use protection, learn from this.
