Birth Control?

A few days back my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex.  But we had sex around 12 pm, and I take my daily pill at 8 pm. Is it possible for me to get pregnant if I take my pill after intercourse? Or will the previous days pill still be working in my system?

there is always a possibility of getting pregnant when on birth control ..but you should be ok....you need to be careful if you are actively having unprotected sex try setting you phone timer or something to remember to take your pill

You should be ok if the pill has been working well for you so far. The birth control pills tell your body that your already pregnant so you dont actually get pregnant by using certain hormones. As long as you are pretty accurate by taking the pill the same time each day and you have never had any problems I think you will be fine. But remember even if all has been well up to this point that the pill is only 99 percent effective.
