Is it two weeks after sex or two weeks after your missed period? I have not had a period in like 2 or 3 months so using that as a guide line wont work for me:( i am scared!! My friend once told me that when you get off the depo shot you COULD still be protected for a long time. I know not safe to assume (trust me this was an accident) its been three days and the emergancy contraceptive is more then I have right now any way.
 
I'm not clear what a 'birth control test' is.

Are you asking about a pregnancy test? A pregnancy test can be done as soon as your period is late. If it's negative and you are having symptoms, test again in about week. If your periods are irregular, allow about 3 weeks from unprotected sex.
 
It's not safe to assume. After being on the shot for 1 year, It took me 6 years to get pregnant. With my friend she was on the shot for 4 years, and she got pregnant the 4th month after she was off the shot.
 
No period in 2-3 months?!? Definitely test. It's possible that the loss of period is due to The test will be accurate usually around the day your period is due, that's 2 weeks after conception, and not necessarily 2 weeks after sex as sperm can live for up to a week in a girls body. If you've only had sex 3 days ago and took the morning after pill, then you're probably OK, but if you're worried, give it 3-4 weeks and test then, that should give you an accurate result
 
The only way to find out if you are pregnant, honey is to take a test, and to put your mind at ease, I agree with the other poster, here, take that overwhelming power it has hanging over your head and take a test, it is the only way you are going to find out, and put your mind at ease.

If you let it bother you, it will eat you up inside, you have to take the first step and then go from there, I know you are nervous and scared, we all were, believe me, but once you find out, weather it is positive or negative you will have your answer.

You have the power, buy a test.
 
I think you mean a pregnancy test, not a birth control test. If you think you are pregnant, go spring for one. Today. Do not live in fear of the unknown... take it's power away by knowing.
