Can Taking Microgynon Be Sufficient To Prevent Pregnancy?

I am currently taking the combined pill, microgynon religiously and my period was 5 days late during my 7 day break. It normally starts on the 2nd day and when it did start it lasted a maximum of 2 days and was so light it barely covered half a tampon in 6 hours. It was a patchy flow and stopped suddenly. I also have sensitive nipples and frequent need to urinate. Also, a lot more discharge than normal. I am agitated and frequently snappy which is not like me either. Could i possibly be pregnant? I am only 18.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Microgynon is a combined contraceptive pill and is sufficient to have a good contraception, as long as it is taken regularly at the same time of a day and without a break.

The symptoms you have like delayed period, sensitive nipples, mood changes, seem to be the side effects of the pill.

Though a bit late but you had period. Please don't worry. There are practically no chances of pregnancy provided you were regular in taking the pills.

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

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
