A member asked:

I had unprotected sex feb 3 on the first week of my second pack of bc pills. my period is due this week of placebo pills. will i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: A normal healthy woman taking her birth control pills correctly has very little chance of becoming pregnant, regardless of when she has sex.
