Could I be pregnant??

Okay here is my problem. I was on Yasmin for about a year until my insurance ran out in May. I took my last pill May 22. I started my period May 21. Me and my boyfriend were having sex without a condom for a couple of min and then I told him to put one on. I felt a wet spot and found out the he had ejaculated on the bed. I then put a spermacide bullet thing in my vagina. I was suposed to start my period June 18 but I didn't. My question is, could I be pregnant or is my body just trying to get back to normal after being on birth control? BTW, I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen for about 6 months before the Yasmin. Thanx!!

It's not unusual for your period to be late when coming off hormones when your body is sorting out what it wants to do. And stress from worry about possibly being pg can definitely delay ovulation. On the other hand being inside you when he had or was about to ejaculate is never a good thing when you are unprotected. Another problem is the type spermicide you used. A suppository can take a few minutes to melt and cover the cervix. If sperm are already inside you they can be in your cervix before the spermicide becomes effective. How long ago was the IC in question? If it has been less than 3 days you might want to consider emergency contraception. EC can even work, less effectively, up to 5 days afterward and an IUD inserted as EC will work up to 7 days after the incident. If it's too late for EC and you AF is definitely late then you can test to see where you are. I hope you get the answer you want! You really need to get on an effective form of contraception again. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck and hugs,
