If : If you began your birth control pill as directed (on the first day of your menstrual cycle or on the sunday following th efirst day of your menstrual cycle) then the pill is typically over 90% effective against pregnancy after 7 days. The risk for pregnancy is low, if you have been taking your pill as directed, at the same time each day. The crampling you may feel can be a side effect as you adapt to the pill and the hormones that you are recieving. It is also normal to feel nausea, have breakthrough bleeding, feel bloated or have tender breasts.

Not likely: If you're taking the pills consistently without missing, it's not likely you would get pregnant. Keep taking your pills? If you take your pills consistently at the same time every without ever missing, the failure rate is <1%. In typical use, the failure rate is 9%. It also depends on when you started the pills and whether you used a backup method. If you miss your period, check a pregnancy test.
