What Are The Chances Of Impregnation While Using Birth Control Needle?
Me and my boyfriend had sex last night and lost the condom. About an hour ago I found it in my vagina, and I m not sure if he ejaculated in it or not. I just started the birth control needle on Tuesday and I am wondering what are the chances that I am pregnant.. Very worries

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Birth control needle is highly effective in preventing pregnancy.
It has just 1-3% failure rate.
Effectiveness also depend on type of birth control needle.
Again if you did sex in safe period of cycle then no chance of pregnancy.
But if period will delay by more than 7 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy.
Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
