btw this is the first month i am using birth control, its ortho-novum 1/35

Answer 1

If you are really afraid you could get a pregnancy test, that is the only way to know for sure, but I think you are probably fine.  It can take your cycle a few times to figure out what is going on when you first start the pill.  Spotting is totally normal and I never get my period until the 4th day of placebo pills and I have been on it for almost 5 years.  I would say by the end of the weekend if you haven't seen any sign of your period to go get a pregnancy test.

Answer 2

I think ur supposed 2 wait one cycle on BC before having unprotected s*x. Better get a prego test.
