Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy have always been there with unprotected sex.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

I can understand your concern.

The chances of pregnancy have always been there with unprotected sex.

You should go for ultrasound pelvis to rule out the cause.

Sometimes during period epithelium can shed in form of tissue.

Please revert to me with your ultrasound report, so I will be able to give my opinion accordingly.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Good luck.

Brief Answer: XXXXXXX is an oral contraceptive pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Nice to hear from you once again.
XXXXXXX is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing synthetic oestrogen and progesterone in it.

The use in PCOD cases to regulate menstrual cycle and decrease pain.

As you forgot to take the pill, the chances of pregnancy are there.

Bleeding can be due to breakthrough bleeding( a side effect of pill).

You can go for a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Hope it is useful.
