Is There Any Chance Of Pregnancy Even After Taking Contraceptive Pill?
Hi.. I started my period on 13th July which was Sunday and I had unprotected sex using withdrawal method on the same day then later on I had sex at about 3am that night meaning Monday and this time there was no withdrawal at all. My boyfriend and I decided to just go ahead and finish up in full besides I just started my period. Then I took the pill at around 7pm Monday. I took both at once. Did I really reduce my chances of pregnancy or am still at a high risk? My period calender says am due for my next period on the 24th of next month and my fertile and ovulation dates are 5th - 11th of next month and am expected to finish my current period on 17th July. Should I be scared or rather prepared for anything?

Hi,
Do not worry. There is no chance of pregnancy because:
1. You did sex in complete safe period of cycle. During this time there is no ovulation so no fertilization occurs
2. You took I pill with in 24 hours and it also highly effective preventing the pregnancy. It has just 0-5% failure rate.
But pill can cause earlier period, delay in period by 1-2 week, and excessive bleeding can occur. So do not worry if period will delay by 1-2 week. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.
Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
