Brief Answer:
No.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ms. XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

If you are taking Oral contraceptive pills and had sex just 5 days after your period, you will not become pregnant.

Ovulation occurs on day 14 or 15th of the period in women who are not on any hormonal contraceptives or intrauterine devices implanted, so in your case ovulation will not happen because you are on hormonal contraceptives to regulate your menstrual cycles.

So, do not worry, there is no chance of you conceiving even with unprotected sexual intercourse.

I hope this clears up things for you, however you are most welcome to write back if you need further assistance.

All the best.

Warm regards.

Brief Answer:
You can continue Lutenyl as usual.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You don't have to change your usual routine of taking lutenyl even if you take the morning after pill.

I don't see a reason for taking the morning after pill.

Hope this clears your doubts.

Hello Ms. XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing back.

I understand your worry, I would like to reiterate that you have essentially no risk of becoming pregnant, so stop worrying.

You can start your lutenyl course as usual, and if you take the morning after pill, be assured that, it is fine, you can choose to take it or not, it's entirely up to you.

I hope this will help relieve your anxiety.

Wishing you good health.

Warm regards.

Brief Answer:
You are worried that's you have headaches.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

I can fully understand what you are going through, you are too worried about getting pregnant, please try and relax, you have no chances of conceiving, you are making it hard for yourself by thinking too much for too long.

Anxiety does cause headaches, so relaxing will make the headaches go away.

And if you have taken that morning after pill as you said you will, that could also cause a headache, headache is not a sign of pregnancy okay?.. You need to relax lady.

Hope you will find yourself in a better position soon.

Take care and enjoy your life.

Warm regards.
