My boyfriend and I have been sexually active for about 4 months, and 2 months ago I started on birthcontrol.
2 weeks ago we had unprotected sex, and I was on the pill so I had no apparent signs or any thoughts I could be pregnant.
Last week, I finished my period on Saturday, and that week was taking the pills in the pack that don't do anything. On Sunday my boyfriend and I had sex before I took my pill that started the cycle again.
For the past few days I've been getting stomach cramps and obviously am not expecting m period for another 3 weeks. Is it probable that I might be pregnant? I'm not sure when the earliest I could take an at-home test, or if going to planned parenthood to check would be a good idea.

I read that to get the most accurate results would be to wait until the time your period is expected.. that is, if it doesn't come.

Is it probable that you could be pregnant? No. Is it possible? Yes. Keep in mind that birth control pills are designed to mimic pregnancy in your body ; that's what keeps the ovaries from releasing their eggs. So don't be alarmed if you seem to experience some signs that are similar to pregnancy. At 2 months your body is probably still adjusting to being on the pill. Give it some time and the symptoms should largely subside. Talk with your doctor periodically and whenever you have any concerns.
