took pregnancy test on the pill.. need advice! - Women's Health Message Board

I am on Desogen birth control. On Jan 4th, my boyfriend and I had sex but used a condom as another form of protection (we always do). The condom broke and he ejaculated inside me. The condom had spemacide on it. I was a little anxious, but he assured me everything was fine. I went to the bathtub and washed up. I went into my placebo pills starting Jan. 7th. I had my period on Jan 10th. It was a normal period, as far as I could tell. I was still a little worried because I heard you can still get pregnant on bc pill and have a period. On the night of January 14th( the night I took my first new active pill), I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. Should I still be worried about this? I have to also let you guys know, I never missed a birth control pill during this month.. My boyfriend thinks I'm being crazy, but I guess I am super paranoid because my 7 best friends have already had kids- most unplanned.... ugh....

Thanks for advice!

CrimsonRose -- If you used the pill and never missed, used spermacide (I know the condom broke), had a period AND had a negative pg test....chances are very, very, very good that you are NOT pregnant!

Also, if you had intercourse 6 days before your period, you were likely not in your fertile time of your cycle anyway. And 4 days after your period started you would almost certainly have a positive pg test if you were pg. The chances of it being a false negative are extremely slim.

The whole point for spermicide is to kill the sperm in case it gets in you. You're on the pill, used a condom and spermicide, and your PG test is negative. Yeah, I'd say you're pretty safe.

You're lucky you can even use spermicide, many women, myself included, have a terrible allergic reaction to the stuff and therefore can't use it at all.

Thanks for all of your replies.. I know my fear is unfounded, but it's just all these stories I hear of women getting pregnant on the pill.. I guess they get to me after a while..

I was also asking if I took the pregnancy test at the right time, meaning it wasn't too early to take one?
