Hello, My Name Is XXXXXXX I Want To Know If

Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy are increased with multiple uses of XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using Ask a Doctor. The chances of getting pregnant in a cycle depend largely on what day you have unprotected sex, as having sex 5 days prior to ovulation has about a 10% chance of getting pregnant, while the day of ovulation and the 2 days prior have about a 30% chance of getting pregnant, and after ovulation the chances are almost 0%. Ovulation occurs 14 days before your period, so with a regular 28 day cycle, it will usually be day 14, but with irregular periods, the day can vary.

Emergency contraception such as XXXXXXX can be thought of as decreasing the chances of getting pregnant by about 50%, but because most people don't know when ovulation occurs and may have varying risks of getting pregnant, studies focus on the overall effectiveness of XXXXXXX which studies have shown the overall pregnancy rate with using medications like XXXXXXX in a single cycle are 1.7 to 2.6%, but for repeat unprotected intercourse with repeat usage of XXXXXXX in the same cycle, the rate increases to about 7.3%. So without knowing what day in your cycle you had sex, I would say the chances of you getting pregnant this cycle would be about 7%, which may be higher if you did have sex around the day of your expected ovulation.

I hope that makes sense and helps, please let me know if you have any questions about any of that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.

Brief Answer:
The chances are the same as I said before

Detailed Answer:
Yes, I think I understand what you are saying, so the chances would overall be about 7% for getting pregnant. So to answer your question, if by safe you mean there is 0% chance of getting pregnant, then no, you are not safe, there is definitely a chance that you could get pregnant.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be glad to help any way I can.

Brief Answer:
This pill is not 100% effective

Detailed Answer:
I'm sorry that nobody explained to you that the pill is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, especially when used multiple times in a cycle. XXXXXXX works primarily by postponing ovulation to decrease the chances of getting pregnant, but for example if you ovulate the same day that you had sex, then it would be too late for the medication to have effect, and you could get pregnant.

Again, even if you take the pill immediately, there is still a chance of getting pregnant, though the risk is significantly lower than if you did not take the pill.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you still have any questions and I'd be glad to help.

Brief Answer:
There's nothing you can do now but wait

Detailed Answer:
Now there wouldn't be anything you could but wait to see if you are pregnant, which testing would usually show about the time you would expect to have your period. The only other option would be to place an IUD, which would be more effective than the pill in preventing pregnancy.

Currently we do not usually treat males for candidiasis unless they are having symptoms, since there is no clear evidence that being colonized with candida in males causes any problems or is passed on to other.
