Is Pregnancy Possible While On Althea Pills?
Hi I m using althea pills, I took it within 120 hours after sex. I didn t finished the pack because I accidentally crushed one pill so I had to take the next pill. Before my last pill I had sex. I had to wait 6 days before taking a new pack, it should be 7 but I missed one. My period is due on April 1st but I am delayed 2 days. Am I pregnant?

Hi,
Actually, oral contraceptive pills need to be taken very regularly missing one pill you may escape risk but still, there are chances of pregnancy on those cases too.
You should remain tension free and wait for normal periods till you are 8 days delayed. In case there is no period till then, get urine pregnancy test done and if it turns out to be +ve please terminate the pregnancy (to avoid fetal abnormalities.)
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
