Should I start birth control if I could be pregnant?

Im 18, freshman in college, and my boyfriend is 27 with two kids. we’ve had unprotected sex a few times recently. even when i was on my period last week. i went to the doctor a few weeks ago to get on the pill for the first time. im scheduled to take the first one sunday, but i dont know if i should just in case i might be pregnant, but its still way to early to tell. what should i do?? should i wait a few weeks to start the pill??

Hi,

You should wait until you get your period naturally. If you miss it, then you may be pregnant and should take a test after your missed period. If you do get your period, you’re most likely not pregnant and should start taking the birth control after your cycle.

Good luck.
