Is Conception Possible If Taking Cerazette Is Delayed?

Hi, i think i may have taken cerazette a little late..i think i'm having my period, but it doesn't bleed so much as it usually does...it's been three days now since the sex and i'm still bleeding a little bit. Can i have gotten pregnant? I took cerazette again before going to bed

Hi, I have gone through your question. Cerazette ispprogesterone only contraceptive pill, and its contraceptive effect is effectively maintained when taken consistently at the same time of the day daily.
If there is a gap of more than 24 hours in between the two tablets, then the contraceptive efficacy decreases and conception can occur.
I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done and if positive, then further management should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
