A member asked:
Missed 4 days of birth control, started breakthrough bleeding and had unprotected sex. one week later i'm cramping w/ no period. pregnancy chances?

Probably not: Since you had unprotected sex, pregnancy is possible. Cramping isn't usually a sign of pregnancy. It's possible to cramp a little at implantation time, but that's fairly unusual. The only way you'll know is if you have a positive pregnancy test 2 weeks or so after having unprotected sex.
