Is Pregnancy Possible While On Contraceptive Pills?

Ive skipped my contraception pill 4 days in a row and started bleeding before my next due date. I have had intercourse within these 4 days and was wondering, even if i have started bleeding could i still be pregnant and how long should i wait to take a test to be sure i am or not?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Although this is not very likely, it is however possible that pregnancy occurs so you had one risky intercourse and if this happended during your ovulation period it is possible that pregnancy occur,but considering your description of it, this risk is minor.To be sure you should do pregnancy test which can be done when period is missed or 8 days after the targeted intercourse so at this point it would be accurate enough to detect possible pregnancy. Standard urine test would be enough for it since this is almost 99% accurate.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
