    I'm a day late on my period and I take birth control regularly
    I have had sex with my boyfriend since my last period. We do have unprotected sex but he always pulls out. Is there a chance I could be pregnant?

    Hi urbabygirl99,

    There will always be a chance for pregnancy when you have sex, regardless of what form of birth control you use.

    It is not uncommon for periods to be off a bit, so give it several more days and see what happens. If still no period, try a pregnancy test. Make sure that you follow the directions carefully.

    Withdrawal is often used incorrectly; for this reason, it is not considered to be one of the most effective forms of birth control. Consider using two forms of birth control to lessen the odds of an unplanned pregnancy even more. You can speak to your doctor or someone at a pregnancy or health clinic about what options would work best for you.
