Question: My period ladted only 2 1/2 days when it`s normally 4-5. I am on birth control and havebeen for a few years. My boyfriend and I Ihad unprotected sex before my period. What are my chances of being pregnant?
Hi,
I hope you are on regular combined birth control pills. Combined oral pills are more than 99% effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies when they are taken religiously. The effectiveness is slightly altered when you miss more than one pill.
Since you have been on pills for years, I presume you take them without missing pills. In such a case, I don't think you have any chance of being pregnant.
Let me know if my presumption is not right. We shall discuss further.
Best Regards
