A member asked:

Had unprotected sex on my placebo week. next placebo i got my period like normal but i now have sore breasts, tired & stuffed nose. could i be pregnant? also i switched brands of birth control so is it just side effects? i take bc everyday exact time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be side effects from new brand. Consult your OBGYN or PCP and if indicated a HCG will be done. Unprotected sex can still cause pregnancy, even at a low risk, no matter what forms of BC one is on.
