Is I-pill To Be Taken When On Loette?

Posted on Mon, 8 Dec 2014
Question: Hello doctor,
I missed my periods this month. I had my last periods on the 18th of September.. I started having sex with my boyfriend from December last year.. I had sex twice in January that too unprotected one and took ipills both the time..I then missed my periods in January, took pregnancy tests they showed negative, still we consulted a gyno who prescribed me abortional pills that is mifigest, so I got some bleeding that month, then in February I had sex again, and missed my periods again and took ipill and missed my periods, then in march I had sex again but that was unprotected and took ipill so there was a little bleeding, then in April I missed my periods again so I consulted my gyno again, my pregnancy tests were negative, he suggested me blood test, thyroid test, and ultrasound test, but none of them showed pregnancy, he prescribed me restrogen and said when I start to bleed I need to take ocps so I bleeded after taking restrogen and got periods in may, took ocps and bleeded in XXXXXXX that too twice cz whenever I use to forget taking ocps I use to bleed.. I then quit taking ocps from July because I feared taking them and I feared bleeding twice in a month. I had unprotected sex and then again took an ipill and bleeded in July and missed my periods in august and then took restrogen in September, bleeded again, and then this October I had sex again and since August we are having protected sex always but again I got no periods in October .. I took home pregnancy test after two weeks but it showed negative. I took restrogen again for consecutive five days and then I bleeded after 4 days. The day my bleeding started I started taking loette that birth control pill. It's been over 10days now. I had and my boyfriend had unprotected sex today and by mistake he ejaculated inside me. Can you please tell me is there any slightest of chance to get pregnant? Or should I take an ipill tomorrow in the morning? Please help. I am very tensed and worried.

Brief Answer:
No need to take i pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Since you are taking loette birth control pill, correct intake of pill at the same time everyday will be sufficient to prevent pregnancy.. Since you have an irregular cycle, it would be better to take OCP's.. Correct usage of OCP's have a failure rate of only 0.3%..

You neednot take ipill now..Repeated use of ipill is not recommended as it can cause menstrual irregularity and other side effects due to high hormone content.. Taking an alternate contraceptive like will be advisable..

Hope I have answered your query..Feel free to ask any doubts.. good day..

I read on the Internet that loette should be taken for a month and after a month your partner can Ejaculate inside you and then you are safe. Please confirm me is there any chance of getting pregnant because I have been taking loette regularly past 10 days since the bleeding started. Last two days I took the pills a little late like there was a difference of three four hours than the usual time. Will that cause any harm? Also which alternative pill are you talking about? Please prescribe me.

Yes continue the same pill

Loette inhibits ovulation in this cycle itself, so correct usage prevents pregnancy from this cycle.. Correct timing of pill is important.. 3-4 hrs is ok but preferably same time is advised..

By alternate pill, I meant taking oral contraceptive pill or condoms or IUD's to prevent pregnancy..

I just started using loette. It's just been 10 days. You sure I am safe?
And Ejaculating inside me was safe? And this won't cause pregnancy?

Yes, loette prevents pregnancy if taken at the correct time from day 1 of your periods.. So dont worry.. Its failure rate is 0.3%. So ejaculating inside is fine.. Hope you are not on any other medication which interacts with its action..

Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
