Question
hello, well iv been off birth control for like maybe 3-4 weeks now, i had sex with my boyfriend& i was on top& he ejaculated into me, is it possible i could be pregnant. or how would the birth control still have an affect on my body?

Answer
Dear Allie,

I am not sure what type of bc you were on but most likely it has worn off by now.  That means it is likely that you could be pregnant.  If you had sex recently, within 2 or 3 days ago, you still have time to get Plan B Emergency Contraception.  Go to any pharmacy to buy it, but bring someone 18 or older to buy it for you.

Good luck,

Deb
