Brief Answer:
Yes!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

Best course is to take a pregnancy test. I will also like to know the specific type of Birth control method you are using so as to see whether this is a known phenomenon or not. Always remember birth control don't protect against infections and thus very important to always associate protective methods such as condoms.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Look forward hearing from you!.
