Ive been on depo for like 2 years and decided to switch to mononessa birth control pills. After missing two of the blue pills, I had unprotected sex twice with my boyfriend and he ejaculated in me each time. My period startd on aug 14. The sex took place July 28. Last week I experience some cramping with no period. Can I be pregnant?

Your best bet is to get a pregnancy test.

If you're still having ''normal'' Periods, you most likely are not pregnant. It's not the norm to have periods while pregnant. There may be a bit of spotting here and there but no periods - I would buy a decent home pregnancy test or take a trip to your GP just in case..

If you are not planning for a family I would seriously suggest remembering to take your pills - or if you do forget, try not to have unprotected sex.
Taking the morning after pill works, but you must remember that it can lower the chance of some regular birth control pills of working. If you do take a morning after pill after you forget to take the B.C pills, try not to have unprotected sex for at least a week afterwards (while taking your B.C pills).

All the best!

ANY time there is penile insertion there is the risk of pregnancy. No form of birth control is 100% effective. So yes, you can be pregnant.

However you said your last period was 8/14, AFTER the sexual encounter. In that case you are unlikely to be pregnant. The first physical manifestation of pregnancy is a missed period. So you need to wait a another couple of weeks to see if you get your September period before you start thinking pregnancy.

A lot of hormones that are flying around your system before and during your period can mimic the "Popular signs of pregnancy". It is impossible to tease the subtleties between the two and as such the only real symptom that you can trust is a missed period. You had your period. I assume you're still taking the pills? You should be fine but if you miss your NEXT period that you need to take a test, until that point I wouldn't be too concerned, I think you dodged that bullet.
