A member asked:

If i am on the birth control pill and had unprotected sex the day before my period started and then got my regular period, am i at risk for pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No!: Pills should protect you. Moreover pregnancy is only likely at mid cycle(2 weeks before and 2 weeks after your period.
