Using Lady Pills, Intercourse During Pill Free Days. Pregnancy Chances? When To Start Taking Pills Again?
Hi,just a query. Im currently using Lady Pills
and I have 2 days remaining for the pack.
I was planning to shift to Althea, because I heared
alot of good things about it. Will it be fine if I'll start
using the pack when I finish the LADY pack.
In the prescription it says that I need to take the pill
for 21days and 7days pill free.
For the 7days pill free will these means the I dont need to
take a pill,and start taking it again on the 8th day
for the new pack.But on the 7days free pill i had sexual intercourse
with my husband what wil be the effect will I get pregnant.
Hope for your fast response.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As 21 days are advised , so that no pregnancy could not occurs due to intercourse.
7 days pill free are advised ( iron or folic acid tablets) , so no chances of pregnancy irrespective of sexual intercourse.
Next round of tablet starts on the 8th day of menstruation & so on.
So in your case pregnancy , not at all , don't worry , tension free life.
Good luck.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
It is to be taken on beginning of the first day of menstruation.
You have take the take the tablet every day at the same time preferably in the evening meal.
You must take it for 21 days.
For next 7 days you must follow have safe sex with protective methods like condom to avoid pregnancy.
Do not take any tablet on the next 7 days after taking the last tablet.
You have to start the next pack on the 8th day following the 7 tablet-free days.
Normal menstrual period will most likely resume during the tablet-free days.
You have to take the pills till the contraception is needed.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
