am i pregnant

I had unprotected sex on the 9th of December, then I took 8 birth control pills the next day (4 pills a time, 12 hours apart) instead of emergency contraceptive which wasn't available then. I got my period exactly a week later (on the 16th of december) it was of regular flow and lasted for about 7 days. (I don't know if I should confuse that with implantation bleeding orrr). Anyway I took a home pregnancy test on the 11th of January and I got a negative result. I've been feeling a bit tired recently and I'm a bit worried, my period is supposed to come in those coming few days but I'm still a bit nervous, and id like to know the possibility of me being pregnant. and id like to know if the home pregnancy test i took four weeks after my last sexual encounter accurate or should i do another one? Thank you  x

slim since you said your partner didn't ejaculate inside you

Well from what I've researched it's almost of no help if you were not taking it regularly before, but given the dose you took.. there really isnt any knowing until you either get your period or a positive pregnancy test.

So, you not being in any kind of BC and then taking 8 pills is definitely not good. please do not do thag again.

Plan b isn't available in the country I love in. And my partner didn't ejaculate inside me, I'm just worried about pre ejaculate

And for future reference you have up to (im pretty sure) 72 hours to take the plan b pill or other emergency contraceptives

Taking that many pills can be dangerous and BC should never be used as a plan b thats not what they are for they are meant to help prevent pregnancy not terminate it, as for everything else I agree with Bree61714

First, I advise you to NEVER do that again. The whole take 8 pills. That is not good at all. Second, if you are actively on BC, then there is a slight chance maybe, however you got your period that month. So, see if yoyr period comes this month, if not test. But I honestly don't think you are pregnant. All I can say is wait it out and see,
