Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Marvelon is a combination oral contraceptive and its efficacy as an emergency contraceptive has not been established. Therefore, it is difficult to predict if she was protected. If she has regular 28-30 day cycles, she was probably in the fertile period when you had intercourse. I do not think taking the medication randomly would be of any use. Instead, she may wait for her period and if it does not occur, see a specialist for further treatment.
The ideal regime to take the medication would be from day one of the cycle. If taken mid-way, that cycle is not protected. You can go for a serum beta-hCG test after 4-5 days to confirm/exclude pregnancy. This is confirmative.
Hope I have clarified your query. Please feel free to contact if you need any more clarifications. I will be happy to help.

As I didn't ejaculate inside her, still there s a chance for it ?
Hello,
Thanks for writing back.
Even though ejaculation has not occurred, the pre-ejaculate contains enough sperms to cause pregnancy if it happens to be the ovulation time. In fact, a single sperm is enough. Since you did not wear any protection, the chances of risk are high, had she ovulated around that time.
Hope I have clarified your doubt. Please get back if you have any more queries. I will be ready to help.
