Could i be pregnant...?
I'm worried I could be pregnant.
I'm 21f. My boyfriend is 18
The reason I'm worried is because I've been on the pill for about 4 years now and I take it at the exact same time every day. Well me and my boyfriend went to a concert on Friday night and he held my phone for me and I told him to let me know when my alarm went off so I could take my pill. Well I went to the bathroom and came back and asked him what time it was and it was like 9:11. I usually take my pill at 9. And then I'm also worried because my boyfriend was a virgin before this and so I'm not sure if he put the condom on right. When we were done and got up he said "Well it looks like it worked"
We had sex Saturday morning. I'm just freaking out! I wouldn't be as worried if I took my pill on time the night before. I don't even think the condom broke but I'm just worried my boyfriend didn't put it on right or something. Now I have stomach pains, but I think it's because i'm stressing myself out so much thinking about it.

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
11 minutes late taking your birth control can barely be considered 'late'. Every oral contraceptive comes with a packet explaining the procedure if a pill was missed or taken late. Assuming your taking the most commonly used type of birth control pills (2 hormones), most after you miss a pill, or take a pill late twice you should use back up birth control. Considering you really hadn't taken any late or missed any, and the fact your boyfriend wore a condom, you should try not to worry. Even birth control with just one hormone (which is less effective and more time sensitive)says to use back up birth control if your pill is taken 3 hours late.
Remember that stress can delay your period as well as causing you to feel 'pains' that you may try to contribute to something when really it is nothing at all. If you miss you period, take a pregnancy test and go from there. But I really feel you shouldn't worry.

I'm in birth control, and the info packet says if you miss ONE day take two the next day, same time. your chances of pregnancy should not be any higher.

I would suggest you stop worrying. Certain medication need time to build up in your system to be effective. Birth Control pills are one of those medications. In general when you decide to have a child you can't conceive immediately upon stopping birth control pills as the medication needs to leave your system. The longer it is from the last pill the higher the chance of conception. Being 11 minutes late taking your pill makes you chances of getting pregnant about zero. That is the same effective rate of the pill itself.
The fact that you piggyback condom usage as well brings that chance even closer to zero, which is a better effective rate than the pill alone. So stop worrying. The stomach pains I would guess are nerves. If they continue see a doctor as it is too soon for a home pregnancy test and I feel it is really to soon for you to feel any effects from a pregnancy.

You most likely aren't. 11 minutes isn't really going to do anything. Also, condoms aren't really complicated to put on so unless he has problems he probably did it right, as long as there were no rips or tears in it at the end. Take a test if you're that worried but I honestly think you're fine.

If you take the pill everyday at a faithful time then your fine, 9:11 is only 10 minutes off.
Also, If you REALLY want to know then take a test, We cannot tell you if you could be pregnant or not as we aren't a pregnancy test.
