Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You may be pregnant as you are not taking the pills regularly.
Though the chance are less as you did sex on 7th day but it can't be ignored totally. Sperms remains alive for few days after sex in female genital tract.
So, you should be cautious and if you have missed period in next month ,get the urine pregnancy test done.
You can decide accordingly.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Usually ovulation will not occur on around 7th day of the menstrual cycle.
So the possibility of pregnancy is less.
Even if you start talking tablets on 5th day of the cycle, if your periods are regular and if you take the tablets regularly, the possibility of pregnancy is less.
So you can continue the tablets.
And wait till your expected date of periods.
If you get withdrawal bleeding as expected, start next pack from the 2nd day of the periods. If you miss your date, go for pregnancy test once.
If the test comes negative, no need to worry. You can continue the next pack as per the schedule.
If the test comes positive, consult gynecologist once and proceed further.
Take care.
