Sure : If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy. It might be too early so repeat of negative if you miss your period.

A member asked:

My period started on Tuesday, and I began a new pack of birth control on Sunday. I heard that if I take the pill within 5 days since the first day of my period, I'm protected immediately. Although, I missed one pill the first week. Am I still safe?
