I received my pills late, so I doubled up for 4 days. It's seems now I could be pregnant (2 weeks later). I'm am so nervous to take a test, could I have damaged the pregnacy if I am????

there isn't a definate answer or conclusive evidence, but the pill appears to carry a very small risk of foetal malformation if taken in the very early stages of pregnancy. which is why you are encouraged to stop taking the pill when you find out if you are pregnant

Of course you are going to have to take a test whether you like it or not, if you are mature enough to conduct a sexual relation you should be mature enough to take a pregnancy test! would you rather not know?

Doubling up on pills was a good idea, and if you waited 7 days to have sex(after you started doubling up) then you would be protected.

You could take a pregnancy test, but it would most likely come up as negative because it could be too early.

"The Pill" as said before isn't exactly 100% fool proof. If you just started the pill, if you take antibiotics while on the pill, and a few other factors can actually cause you to be more able to get pregnant than normally on the pill.
