Question
I take Loestrin 24 FE religiously and always use a condom, but about four and a half weeks ago it broke. Three days later I got my period, with a normal heavy flow. I have not experienced pregnancy symptoms. Could I be pregnant?
Answer
Chances are good that you were protected from pregnancy, but if you do not start your period on time, you can do a home pregnancy test on your first urine of the day.
