What Are The Possibilities Of Pregnancy After Taking Birth Control Pills?

I'm on birth control and was down to the last week (green pills). I had unprotected sex and just in case took the morning after pill within the 72 hours. I have yet to see my period and have been stressed about it along with other events in my life. Should i be concerned and should I be taking a pregnancy test. Freakin out.

Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Don't worry much. Stay calm.
you are using contraceptive pills so there are very less chances of getting pregnant but there is always chance of failure if you have not maintained regularity. and periods can be delayed many other reasons like hormonal imbalance, stress , etc. if you delay your periods more than week than usual dates than go for pregnancy test.
Hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
