I'd been taking the pill for about a month and had unprotected sex with my boyfriend but I had taken a pill a few hours late a couple of days before and took one late again a couple of days after. I've had a period since then but I have noticed my breasts getting tender and slightly swollen. I'm really worried I could be pregnant, if I was I'd be 5 weeks.

Hi Guest,
It's unlikely you'd be pregnant. Taking the pill "a few hour late" occasionally isn't a serious concern. Even if you miss one and then double up the next day the chances are unlikely.
Still, you do want to be more consistent.
As you start taking birth control medications they can cause some changes in your cycle and your body in general. Remember, you're taking hormones. They control how things "work."
You can take a home test, 2-3 weeks after you had sex, if you are concerned.
Hope it helps.

Thank you, would it matter if the pill I took late 4 days after was about 14 hours late?

No, not significantly.
The idea is to keep the hormone levels in your body consistent. Yes, it would have dropped some but you'd still have protection. Remember, even if you missed it completely for a day and took two the next that you are protected.
Hope it helps.
