A member asked:
I'm sure i'm pregnant but no positive test yet. i'm due to start birthcontrol before i find out for sure. is it better to start the pack or wait?

Wait til u are sure: You need to use condoms until you are certain that you are not pregnant. Then, when you are certain that you are not pregnant, two weeks and two days from the last time you could have gotten pregnant, you may start your pills. Do a home pregnancy test 16 days after the last time you could have gotten pregnant.
