Had Unprotected Sex. Took Birth Control Pill. Missing Periods. What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy?

Hi I m 16 years old and me and my boyfriend had protected sex (condom) 3 weeks ago. We both believe that nothing happened to the condom. I m not on the birth control pill . I was suppose to start my period the 16th of April (8 days ago) and it still has not come. I m really stressing out about it. Ive always had irregular periods that would be 3-4 days late but not 8!! What are the chances of pregnancy?

OBGYN,  's  Response

If you were pregnant, then a test would be positive now. You need to get a test and check.

If what you are saying is true, and with consistent use of the condom and no breaks, then the chance is very low, but not zero.

Here is what I would recommend:
1. Do a home pregnancy test
2. Make an appointment with an OB/GYN to discuss birth control pills - they will regulate your cycles and decrease the chance of an unplanned pregnancy

Good luck!!
