Hi desired82, welcome to the Birth Control Board!

Birth control pills are not effective at all to protect you from pregnancy due to sexual intercourse you had 15 days prior to when you began taking them! You should read 'How the pill works and more' and 'How to take your pills correctly' in the FAQ folder at the top of the board. Did you get your period after having intercourse? If you did you are probably ok. If your period isn't due yet no one can say what your chances are of being pg from the encounter. It depends on a number of things including: how fertile your partner is, if you were fertile at the time and if you were using any other method of contraception. If you have already missed your period then it is not too early to test to see where you are. Please let us know how you're doing.

Good luck, and hugs,

      Jill
