Taking Novelon For Irregular Period. Should I Take ECP After Having Sex?

Thanks for writing to us. I am trying to solve your problem.
First of all, protected sex around expected due date of period with using condom is very much safe and there is no chance of pregnancy literally.
Pregnancy depends on proper timing of unprotected sex and ovulation time which occurs approx 14 days before expected due date.
As you are on NOVELON contraceptive pill and get your period in time last month, then you have nothing to worry this month also.
NOVELON is combined OCP and very much effective (around 99.9%) against unwanted pregnancy if it is taken regularly as per schedule whether emergency pill only gives 95% protection if it is taken within 24 hrs.
Therefore, I suggest you not to take emergency pill additionally and using condom is sufficient in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wish your good health and enjoy your sex without any stress.

Thanks for your follow up query. I am happy to help you.
I have already told you that there is no chance of pregnancy at all around period due date as you will involve in sexual intercourse in safe period (27th March).
Using condom is just an additional protection from STD or any type of infection. So, in that time period, breaking condom is not getting you pregnant.
As you will continue pill till 27th March, then your period date may alter and withdrawal bleeding, same to period, will occur within 7-10 days.
After ovulation, ovum only survive 24-36 hrs and after that, there is no chance of fertilization. So, you stop thinking about that and just hope for positive thing.
If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
Be well & take care yourself.

Thanks again for query.
Don't be afraid as first time sex is always full of nervousness and new excitement.
As you will involve in sex around safe period, you will get time to enjoy sex with your boyfriend without any stress.
Abortion pill (like MT Pill) is only to be taken after confirmation of pregnancy and not before that and always under supervision of gynecologist to avoid excessive vaginal bleeding (may occur). Though, in your case, it is unlikely.
Things to be taken care of as follows:
1) First time sex may be painful. You may use some water based lubrication in such case.
2) Mild bleeding may occur following sex and it is mostly due to hymen rupture. You need not to be afraid as bleeding will stop automatically.
3) Use condom to avoid Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) or any type infection.
4) Proper cleaning & washing of genitalia before & after sexual intercourse.
5) You must urinate after sex to avoid urinary infection. Also maintain personal hygiene after that.
Hope, I have clarified everything that you have asked. Now, you can close the discussion & rate the answer.
