Question
i have been taking birth control for about 5 months and today is my 4th day taking the green pills....and i havent started my period.....help me please...i dont want to be pregnant,,

i am highly concerned because i am on birth control and me and  me and my boyfriend always use condoms

Answer
Hi Megan,

Thanks for your question. Since I don't know what kind or brand of birth control pills you are taking, I am wondering if you are saying that you are on the placebo pills at this point? I can't really say if you are pregnant. You will have to take a test. No method of birth control is 100% safe from STD's or pregnancy. Even if you take birth control pills and use condoms, there is still a slight chance of pregnancy. If you want to find out where to get a free pregnancy test and advice/support go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Another good website to check out is http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
