Can Coming Off From Pill Increase Chances Of Pregnancy?

Hello... I was using birth control pills for a year and 4 months. The last one I used, was Minastrin. I recently changed jobs therefore I had no insurance to go to the ObGyn. My last active pill from the pack was the one I took on 09/06. I had unprotected sex yesterday on 9/14. Today I ve been feeling like I m ovulating... I m worried... is there any chance I may end up pregnant?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I appreciate your concerns.

9/14, the day you had sex falls within your fertile period. So there is a possibility of pregnancy. There is a 1 in 4 chance that you may get pregnant. So if you wish to avoid pregnancy, take Ipill (emergency contraception). The earlier after unprotected sex you take the pill, more effective it is. So take this pill at the earliest.

Even after taking this pill there is a slim possibility of pregnancy due to method failure. Therefore get a pregnancy test done if you miss your period.

I hope this is helpful.
If you have further concerns, contact me through Healthcare Magic.

Best wishes,
Dr Rama
