This may sound a little silly but I was just wondering if I had sex (using condoms and I'm on the pill) the day before my period started, is there any risk of pregnancy?
I take my pill every day (21 days of month) and use protection with my boyfriend everytime but I still get freaked out every month that I could be pregnant!
Why do I keep worrying! Lol.
Thanks Kirst

Anytime you have the kinds of sex that can cause pregnancy there is a risk of it. However, you are using two birth control methods so your chance is VERY low - those methods together are 99.99% effective with perfect use and 98.8% effective with typical use. That's about as close to no chance of pregnancy you can get while still having intercourse.
If even that is still too much risk for you, you always have the option of having kinds of sex that can't result in pregnancy.
