A member asked:

I amon the bc pill for almost 3 weeks now i had unsafe sex the day before my period was due i am 8 days late i have nausea n headaches could i be preg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: No birth control is 100% effective, other than abstinence. If you're late, consider taking a home pregnancy test. Otherwise, if negative, and dont' want to be pregnant, consider condoms and birth control pills. Birth control pills prevent pregnancy about 94-96% of the time when used perfectly.
