Should Morning After Pill Be Taken After Unprotected Sex While On Cerazette?

Posted on Wed, 4 Jun 2014

Question: Hi,
I have started Cerazette 4 days ago now and had unprotected intercourse last night. Because I haven't been on Cerazette for a whole week yet I was wondering if I should take the morning after pill or not as I am not sure if this will affect the Cerazette. I already have Postinor -1 Levonorgestrel that I brought this morning. Just double checking before I take it! Thanks for your help :)

Brief Answer:
TAKE MORNING AFTER PILL AT THE EARLIEST.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

YES, you should take Morning after pill (Postinor-1) as soon as possible within first 24 hrs of unprotected sex to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

You will get a withdrawal bleeding within 5 to 7 days and next period may be delayed due to hormonal imbalance.

Cerazette will NOT protect from unwanted pregnancy as you have started the pill just 4 days ago.

Hope, this information is quite helpful to you. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr Soumen
