Is Pregnancy Possible While On Birth Control Pills?

Posted on Fri, 21 Oct 2016

Question: I had sex on the 17th (sugar pills ) next day I stared to bleed and I begin to take active pills for 2 days after that I stopped taking pills completely.
What are the chances of me getting pregnant on the 17th ? Would sperm survive if I took 3 active pills after all ?
I was on birth control for 3 years .

Brief Answer:
Nill chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Since you got bleeding and later took active pills, there are nil chances of pregnancy. The ova will not survive. It does not affect the sperm and sperm will kill by itself in 3-5 days.

Still you can get a pregnancy test done to confirm.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
3 pills enough to disrupt endometrium

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

3 active pills are mostly enough to disrupt endometrium and implantation. Secondly You have been using birth control for 3 years. It also has its effect. So be reassured.

If pregnancy happened then test will not show positive now. Wait for minimum 5 more days.
