Is Pregnancy Possible Through Intercourse While On A New Contraceptive Pack?

Question: I have been on XXXXXXX for over 3 years i took a one month break but then decided to go back on XXXXXXX i have been back on XXXXXXX for 4 months, last month i was on holiday alot so my pill time taking varied slightly, usually always 7am but maybe somedays 8/9 or 10 am at the latest but never missed, i had diarhea on a few occassions possibly to do with being on holiday but never 2 hrs after taking the pill so im hoping it was fully absorbed, i am on my 7 day break at the moment and will be starting my next pack in 2 days, if i was to have sex on the second pill of my pack will i be protected ok?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
It is nice to know that you are regular in your pill intake. I really appreciate your discipline.
Yes, you will be protected if you have sex on the day of second pill provided you start the next pack at the right time and continue to take the pills regularly. It is good that you have decided to use condom. This is extremely important as in addition to contraception it protects against sexually transmitted diseases.

If he wears a condom correctly do i need to make sure he pulls out before he cums? Im just worried the cum could sep out over the top of the condom as there doesnt look to be much room at the tip
Brief Answer:
If he wears condom correctly there is no need for him to pull out.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If he wears condom correctly there is no need for him to pull out. You are using contraceptive pills too. So don't worry. You will be protected from pregnancy.

If i am starting my next packet of pills tomorrow (yasmin) am i protected from pregnancy straight away? Im just im confused as to how it works last month i took all my pills the times varied slighty i always take it at 7am but some days maybe 9 or 10 i had diarrhea once so took an extra pill that day just to make sure, i am in my 7 pill free days had my bleed and the next packet starts tomorrow i will be making sure i takey pills on time, does this mean i am protected straight away or will last months pill taking have ruined my protection its just i was only ever taking them for acne but now i would like to for contraceptive purposes
Brief Answer:
You will be protected straight away with the next pack.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Variation in timings of 2-3 hours while taking XXXXXXX definitely does not reduce the efficacy of contraceptive pills that you took last month. Don’t worry. Relax.
You will be protected straight away with the next pack.
You can start next pack from today itself if you are so worried.
If you have further concerns, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.
