Can I Get Pregnant While Being On 'mononessa'?

I'm 18 years old and have been on Mononessa for almost ten months. My second week on the pill this month I was on antibiotics for a UTI and I had sex that week and the next week pretty consistently. The week I was on antibiotics we used a condom, but the very next day I was off of the antibiotics we stopped using them. I think I'm having pregnancy symptoms, but I'm not sure if they're just in my head. How likely is it that I could have gotten pregnant?

Hallow Baby,

Mononessa is a oral birth control pill. It contains Ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate which together prevent the egg release in women.

If you are on Mononessa regularly, the chances of pregnancy would be very remote as these oral contraceptive pills have very good success rate.

What makes you think that you could be pregnant? Have you missed your period? If you have not, the thought of pregnancy could be because you may be worried about pregnancy.

If you have missed your period, then wait for about a week or so. You should get period by that time. If still you do not get period, you may perform urine pregnancy test. Done earlier, this test may not be conclusive. Alternatively, you may detect the status by ultrasonography also, one week after the missed period.

I hope you are satisfied and your stress has been relieved.
