On Duphaston For Cysts And Ovaries. Had Unsafe Sex. Are My Pregnancy Chances Increased?
Hi there I was taken off The Pill and put on Duphaston for 6 weeks to help me with cysts on my ovaries and my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex last night but he did not ejaculate inside me. I am still worried about pre- ejaculation though and am just wondering if I need to take a morning after pill and if the Duphaston increases my chances of falling pregnant with unprotected sex? I have been on the pill for many years.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Duphaston does not increase your chances of falling pregnant but it does not act as a contraceptive. Unprotected sex you had can lead to pregnancy and it is best to take an emergency contraceptive if you want to avoid an unplanned pregnancy.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
