Yes you can.: The birth control effects \may actually take one cycle to work, although it usually protects immediately a female from pregnancy if started late, as you did. If you miss your period, a pregnancy test is in order. However, it appears that the sexual activity took place just vbefore your fertile period! hope that is some consolation.
