Is Pregnancy Possible While On Althea Pills?

I generally have a regular period... But last month i was afraid of getting pregnant (i thought my bf and i were going to break up) so i took althea pills on the 7th-11th day of my cycle (so 5 days/pills total). I did not continue, however, and had unprotected sex after the 11th day. May i ask if this will affect me badly? So far my period cycle has changed.. I bled on the 21st day of my cycle last month... And now, on the 22nd day of that cycle im having my period again. How will this affect my ovulation cycle and my chances of getting pregnant?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Although this is not very likely, it is however possible that pregnancy occurs so you had one risky intercourse and if this happend during your ovulation period it is possible that pregnancy occur,but considering your description of it, this risk is minor.To be sure you should do pregnancy test which can be done when period is missed or 8 days after the targeted intercourse so at this point it would be accurate enough to detect possible pregnancy. Standard urine test would be enough for it since this is almost 99% accurate

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
