Will Qlaira Cause Nausea, Dizziness And Possible Pregnancy?

I have been on qlaira for about 3 years. I missed the first two pills of a new packet this month and had unprotected sex (twice) a day after taking all the missing pills and following a normal routine.. it has been 10 days after intercourse ( I am still taking the pill on a daily basis and around the same time). I have been feeling nauseous and dizzy and a bit moody (might be because of stress). Could I be pregnant.. it s suppose to be my ovulation time (the pill effects this obviously), my cervix is medium to high, soft and I cant tell if its closed. Mucus is thick and white, there is a tiny bit of spotting at the cervix opening. What are my chances of being pregnant??

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Qlaira contains estradiol valerate and dienogest. It is a novel combined oral contraceptive.
Skipping dose of oral contraceptive pills and having unprotected intercourse always carries a risk of getting pregnant. Hence, it is strictly recommended to take the pill at proper time everyday without missing even a single dose.
If the delay in the intake of a missed tablet is less than 12 hours, the missed tablet should be taken as soon as remembered. If the delay in the intake of a missed tablet is more than 12 hours, then you should consult the chart.
It is advised to use condoms and spermicidal agents in case you are indulging in intercourse till the time you get your next periods.
The symptoms you are experiencing pertain to being pregnant. However, symptoms alone can not confirm about your pregnancy status.
If there is delay in getting your periods this time, kindly take a urine pregnancy test and consult Gynecologist for evaluation and further management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
