What Are The Chances To Get Pregnant Despite Of Taking Sprintec?

I started Sprintec, birth control, & I want to make sure that as long as I am taking my birth control like I should & I m not taking any medications that could cancel it out...what are the odds I could end up pregnant? I m very good about taking my birth control. However I m still worried for some reason that I will end up pregnant.

Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

there are certain facts about pregnancy which you need to know.

a women can only get pregnant when a man ejaculates inside the women when she is in her fertile period approximately 8th to 20th day for her period. chances are high if it is around 14th day. so the rest of the time is safe period. there is almost no chance. when the women is having regular menstruation.

For irregular menstruation it is difficult to find the fertile period. she has to use condom or oral contraceptive or emergency contraceptive post sex within 72 hours.

taking other medication will not cancel out the effect of the oral contraceptive pill no do not worry about it . you can take other medications also.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.


Best Regards!
