ANSWER: Yes you can.  It takes 2 weeks for the birth control pill to take effect if that is what you mean by "took a pill."  You should continue the pill.  If you do not get a period, take a urine pregnancy test.

So is it my first sex that got me pregnant or the secomd 1 i had on my ovulation day. Pls ansa me thanks

Answer
Ovulation is not that exact.  if you took the pill, it threw your cycle off.  You can be pregnant from the second encounter.  We will not know exactly until we know that you are pregnant.  The test is negative now.  The Ultrasound can help if you are able to get one.
