Hello...okay here's my thoughts and questions...

I missed at least a week of taking my birth control, and during that time me and my partner had unprotected sex...can a person become pregnant or am I just paranoid, or should i just wait another four days to see if my period comes and if not take a test and stop using the pill until I am really sure, or stay on..as you can see there are more then one question and hope that one of them can be answered..I would love to know..Thank you very much

Hi faith242004, welcome!

It's entirely possible to get pg if you missed an entire week of pills though no one can say exactly what the chances are. Your chances will depend on whether you became fertile and ovulated and if you had IC while you were fertile. If Aunt Flo is late or it's been at least 2 weeks after the IC of concern you can test to see where you are. If I were you I would not stop taking my pills unless the test shows positive. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
