Yes, get a test: Urine pregnancy tests from the pharmacy are really sensitive these days. This will be the quickest way to find out. Fatigue and sore breasts are common signs of early pregnancy. Usually people notice a change in the colour of the vulva or increased discharge rather than dryness however.

Pregnancy test: There's always a possibility of pregnancy if your OCP pills were not taken at the correct times. Get a pregnancy test done

If you do miss: your period - would go ahead and take a home pregnancy test at that time.

Too soon to test: Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
