Yesterday I took the first of my suger pills for my birth control...I also had unproteced sex that morning, I don't get my period usually until tuesday. So it takes 3 days for the active pills to get out of my system. What are the chances that I could become pregnent??

As long as you`ve taken your pills accurately and on time during your cycle and haven`t been sick (had diarrhea, vomiting within 2 hours after taking the pill), you should be okay. Having unprotected sex doesn`t change your pill`s effectiveness and, anyways, your chances of getting pregnant are very low. Even during your sugar pill week, your body is still protected by the hormones.

Hope this helps!
