Hi,

Althea pill is contraceptive pill and should be start form the 1st day of period. If you have started pill from the first day of period, it means you have did sex on first day of period and it is completely safe period of cycle. During safe period, there is no release of ovum so no fertilization will occur. If sex was done on safe period then there is no chance of pregnancy. Just one pill of althea does not protect against the pregnancy if you had sex during fertile phase of period.

To avoid pregnancy you have to take althea pill daily on specific times. Use safe sex practice (condom) in future to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, and do regular exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar
