Question from a friend
"I started taking birth control pills the day my boyfriend climaxed in me and my calendar said my period was supposed to come down maybe 4 or 5 days after that, but now my period is 9 going on 10 days late! So what do you think? It's the birth control that have my period slacking or its a possibility that I could be pregnant?" So what do I tell her?
It may very well be too soon to test, but she can try. Since she may not be protected yet, she really needs to make sure she uses a condom. The morning after pill is horrible to take more than once in a blue moon, but if she is concerned, she might consider it this once then make sure every subsequent time she uses a condom until she is sure she is protected.
Do note the morning after pill can result in a missed, early, or delayed period, spotting, and a lot of other things.

She didn't read it, she just started the day she went to the doctor but it happened again! So do she need to take a test? Morning after or..what?
Since your friend has been taking the pill, her period should be at the end of the pack. Starting it before her period likely threw it off. *However,* if your friend had read her pack insert before starting, she would have known that you are not protected for anywhere from a week to a month (depending which pill) of consistent, proper use.
