Is Pregnancy Possible While On Levlen ED?
Hi i started taking levlen ed 18 days ago. I had a sexual contact on the 18th day with a condom but unfortunately we had an accident while using the condom. After getting scared of falling pregnant i started taking the white pills on the 18th night. Is there any risk of getting pregnant? Should i finish all the white pills to have my period? Or how it works?

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Levlen ED is not effective in preventing pregnancy when started after having unprotected intercourse. Once started Levlen ED requires 2 weeks to be effective in preventive pregnancy.
If not pregnant, you will get your period after finishing 21 tablets. Most women will start menstruating within 3-4 days after taking 21 pills.
Hope this answers your question
