Need a little more accurate information please

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. So, just to make things clear you started taking Marvelon on Tuesday, and you had sexual contact already? On the Sunday before Tuesday?

Or you are planning on having sexual intercourse on the coming Sunday while being on Marvelon?

If you do not mind, please write back to me with the dates, mentioning when you started Marvelon, and when you had/or are planning to have sexual intercourse, thank you. I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
There do exist a few chances, best to take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hi ma'am.

Very slight chance, but there still is a chance. I would thus recommend the use of an alternate method of contraception for at least 2 weeks (e.g. condoms). And as for the pregnancy scare, I would recommend taking a home pregnancy test at least 2 weeks from the 13th of September. But do make sure you use an early morning urine sample, to get more accurate results.

Take the urine test at least 2-3 times, with at least a 1-2 day gap and write back to me with the results so I can direct you accordingly.

Wishing you loads of luck.
