You are unlikely to become pregnant the day after you stop taking your birth control pill, if it is a combined oral contraceptive pill, as long as you have been taking your birth control pill according to the directions on the packet, or a doctor's advice.
However, if you have not been taking the combined pill as directed, or you are taking the progestin-only pill, there may be a small risk of pregnancy, depending on how regular your cycles are.

Did you end up pregnant?
Yes, you absolutely can. This happened to me. Started a new pack and only took one pill (decided to switch BC methods). Had unprotected sex the next morning - I didn't think twice about it, I assumed the pill chemicals would still be in effect. Thought wrong! I'm 3 months preggo now. I guess I ovulated the DAY after I stopped taking. Which I've heard is nearly impossible but hey, it happened to me...
I'm trying to become pregnant I stopped taking my pills after 6 days of being on it for the first time and had sex the next day. Can I become pregnant.
There is no time in the month where a woman who is not using birth control, is 100% infertile. If you do not use birth control, you will probably end up pregnant. That's why it exsist. Also, each birth control pill has a half life of about 24 hours, so after its out of your system, you begin to regain fertility. It is absolutely possible you could be pregnant. You should have continued to take your birth control pills.
You're going to start feeling like you're talking to a wall. I do appreciate the help.
Since I stopped taking the pill im having what I guess is the withdrawal bleeding. Im suppose to get my period in about 10 days . If I dont get it would it be normal because I stopped the pill ? Do you know ? Or would it be cause of the chance for pregnancy?
The withdrawal bleeding just after stopping the pills is to be expected. However, if you don't get your actual period (assuming you are regular and know more or less which date its meant to arrive) I would seriously consider taking a pregnancy test. From what you've described, you're more likely pregnant than not. You were not protected, so wait and if you don't get your period, take a test.
For the most part im regular . I get it several days late sometimes but I definitely get it every month ! Thank you so much for your help !
Did you find out if you were pregnant?
hi girls need help,.i forgot to take pils in the first week and in the middle and now i have spoting and its black the blood.can i be pergnant, sorry my english is not good..

I had the implant I was bleeding almost everyday for 2 months I recently got it taken out Feb 28 2017 I had sex before I got it taken out and a few hours after it was out. Btw never really had a period on the implant beside the last few months when I got it taken out. Could I be pregnant possibly?
Your fertile period is figured by your next period. Ovulation is supposed to be 14 days before your next period.
Technically you weren't protected. If you're not taking the pill you're going to have to be careful. And where he finishes doesn't protect you. You can get pregnant before he ejaculates.
So is it possible that I could be pregnant?
I just told you you weren't protected. I can't tell you if you're pregnant or not.
