What should I do? Should I make an appointment with my family doctor? Should I get a pregnancy test?

Yes, if you have stopped taking birth control for more than 7 days and have had unprotected sex, it would be appropriate to take a pregnancy test. It is also advisable to restart the pill quickly and use a second form of contraception for at least 7 days. It may not be necessary to schedule an appointment with a doctor unless you suspect you are pregnant. In the future, it is best to resume taking the pill within 7 days if you have taken a break.
