What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Taking Levonelle?

Hi. I usually take Marvelon as my birth control pill but took 3 weeks off it and then started taking it again when my week off would have been had I been taking it. the same day I started it I took levonelle as I thought I had had unprotected sex 2/3 nights before (which turned out I didnt). I then had unprotected sex about 10 or 11 hours after taking the 7th pill in the pack. I am just wondering what the chances of pregnancy are?

1. since levonelle [levonorgesterol] can be bought without prescription thus
ask your pharmacist who will ask about your last period and when you last had sex in order to make sure this medicine is suitable for you.

2. although the medicine can be used at any point during your menstrual cycle, BUT if your period is late, or your last period was more than five days late or unusually light or heavy, you should tell your pharmacist, as you may already be pregnant and this medicine will not work.

3. you may check with Urine Pregnancy Kit.
