: Ok, please don't yell at me, I know what I did was wrong. I fooled around with my birth control so I would not have my period on my upcoming trip to Florida. (I can do this because I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and don't have periods on my own....this is why I got on birth control in the first palce). So last Saturday (the week before it I had not been on the pill..i was planning to start it that Sunday)my boyfriend and I had sex without a condom. He did not come in me, but I assume that there was stuff leaking. Is there a way that i could be pregnant? I started the pill back up on Sunday, like I had planned. Everyone always says that you can tell if you miss a period, but how will i know when I'm on the birth control? If I get my period on time, will that mean I am ok? And, if I take a pregnancy test, will it be accurate because I only had the sex a few days ago? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't think a test will work that soon. You can have a period and still be pregnant. A lot of women experience a light period when they first get periods some even have regular periods. wait a little bit and if you think you might be take a test to be sure.
