Q: 

i've been using BCP for five months now but this month, i started it 5 days late. i've had unprotected sex prior to starting the pack and i also took 4 pills upon starting. after a few days i forgot to take a pill and used Plan B. could i be pregnant?

also, according to my period calendar, i should get my period tomorrow. i got a pimple and i normally have one a week before my period. my breasts also felt bigger on tuesday night. i am worried because the day that i forgot a pill was two days before my ovulation but i took plan B.

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
You can except your period to irregular from taking 4 BC pills at the same time and also taking EC while on the pill. You can experience: irregular bleeding, bloating, cramping, nausea,and tender breasts. If your period is irregular it does not necessarily mean you are pregnant. It could simply be side effects of the pills.
