    I would definitely take a pregnancy test, I would be careful taking two birth control and strongly suggest against it. There is a such thing as birth control overdose which can give you emotional side effects, discolored urine, nausea/vomiting and heavy bleeding. I would suggest taking a Plan B pill or another emergency contraceptive if you are worried about accidental pregnancy after unprotected sex. Plan B and emergency contraceptives are available over the counter at many pharmacies and even Wal-Mart for anywhere between $10-$50 (the brand "My Choice" from Wal-Mart is the cheapest at $10.66).
