Ok so my fiance had a 3 day leave this weekend from his army OSUT and I am on birth control the pill and I missed pills for a week and started back where I left off and since then I have taken them for 11 days but on the 9th day of taking them again I started my period and I had sex a few times and I'm trying to figure out if I should be worried...could I be prganant? should i stop taking my birth control? i mean this is recently like just a few days ago my period has contiued though so i have no clue what to do help me please!

Like alaysha said - 2 weeks after intercourse...

thats what i was thinking too...so i should just wait till im supposed to have my periods again then take a test if i dont have it right

You should take a test just in case.  The hormone imbalance caused by the birth control pills could cause bleeding.  Many women bleed at the beginning of pregnancy.  But before you continue taking the pills you should test - bc is NOT good to take during a pregnancy.

Although you missed a week it really depends more on ovulation. Most people do not get pregnant on their period or a couple days before. Normally you ovulate about 2 weeks before your period is expected. The egg only lives for about 24 hours and in perfect conditions sperm and survive up to 7 days. It sounds to me like you had sex after ovulation and more than a week before you will probably ovulate.

if i am or im not either way its fine im just wondering that if me not taking my birth control pills correctly and then having sex while on my period if it was possible if i would be pregnant...didnt know if my period would stop right away or if i should just wait till im supposed to get my next period..

If you got your period then you are not pregnant. If you are concerned about it though then wait 2 weeks since the last time you had unprotected sex and retest.
