yes.
you need to be on the pill for about 30 days before you have unprotected sex.
You could be pregnant..take a test. and if you are pregnant, stop taking the pill.

I read on a site a doctor said to have protected sex for seven days when first starting on the pill but I thought when I first started taking them they told me for a month.

I Was On Birth Control For A Year And Got Off About 6 Months Ago And Still Havent Got Pregnant ;( But I Heard Some Girls Can Get Pregnant A Month After Stopping The Pill Or It Can Take Up To A Year But Everyone Is Diffrent !

oh no. ya it was too soon to have unprotected sex. you are soposed to wait a month. but whats important is when did you have sex? was it right after you got off oyur period, in the middle sometime, or right before you're soposed to be staring your period? b/c that all makes a difference. also how many days are your cycle? a 'normal' cycle is 28 days. if you had sex during your ovulation which is about 14 days before your next period(28 day cycle) then your chances of getting pregnant are very likely...when is your next period due? keep me posted
