chance of pregnancy

I apologize if this question seems silly but am in need of peace of mind.
I started the birth control pill again. (tricyclen) about halfway through the pack I stopped as I thought I was having chest pains from the pill. I learned later it was not related and was only a tight muscle.

my period started right away and it was quite heavy. on about the third day of bleeding my boyfriend and I had sex using withdrawal.  is there any of chance of pregnancy here?  if all the lining is shed then there would be nowhere for an egg to live right?!

my bleeding stopped after about 5 days so I resumed my pill. is this okay?

because it is monitored by an md and I wanted a dr's opinion. the women's and maternal forums do not have dr's.

and by the way I am definitely not pregnant.

Why are you asking this on the Child Behavior Forum?

Yes, there is a possibility of pregnancy.  You must take the morning after pill within 48-72 hours of unprotected intercourse, so it sounds like it's too late for that.  You should consult your gyn now for instructions regarding what to do, but use a back up method every time now until you hear from your doctor.

and if there is some risk, do I need to take the morning after pill?

I cannot address your question with authority because it is otside the scope of this Forum (which focuses on matters of chldhood and adolescent social, emotional, cognitive and behavioral functioning/development).

What I can offer you is this: Some bleeding does not represent a period, and it is possible for a woman to ovulate during bleeding, so the main issue to address is whether the bleeding actually represents a period. If it does, the chance of pregnancy resulting is remote. This is particularly true if a woman has very regular cycles. Also, for some women, a very fertile time is toward the end of their period.

Be sure to confer with your health care providers, and if you are concerned about possible pregnancy be sure to be tested.
