Q: 

Hi, I missed the first 4 days of my BC pill and had protected sex the first night after my period ended, could I be pregnant?

I am 1 day late on my period, however I usually have very irregular and unpredictable periods despite being put on the pill. Should I therefore not be too worried at this stage?

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

If you had protected sex (a condom I assume?) then you should be fine. You can take a pregnancy test to ease your mind if you wish - one would be accurate by now - but your period will likely be along soon.
Best,
Susan
