Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking A Contraceptive Pill?

Posted on Wed, 26 Oct 2016

Question: hi, i am 19 yes old. I had sex for the first time on 24th, and it was unprotected. I took a plan B pill the next night and had unprotected sex again. He pulled out both of the times. After 10 days, I have vaginal bleeding and I know for sure my period had just ended on the 23rd. Am I pregnant? Or, is it because of vaginal irritation?
and, does pulling out really work?

Brief Answer:
You are not pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

You have written that your mensus ended on 23rd. When did you start your period? The first week of your mensus cycle is safe. Sex during that period will not result in pregnancy.

You are not pregnant. The bleeding is probably because of the Plan B you took.

The pulling out method does not work always. I suggest that you consult your doctor and start regular, effective contraception like birth control pills.
I hope this is helpful.
If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
