What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy Upon Taking Marvelon After Unprotected Sex?
Question: Hi. My friend has had an intercourse during her fertile days. Her boyfriend withdrew and she took marvelon 4 pills 4 hours after then another 4 after 12 hours. How likely is it that she can get pregnant?
Brief Answer:
She may not get pregnant.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about her health care.
I can understand your concern here.
The chances of pregnancy have always been there with unprotected sex.
In her case as she had birth control pills (marvelon)immediately after sex , it may prevent pregnancy.
So the chances are less.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
Regards

Hi again,
Since I still have one more free question to ask. So even if the female is fertile and took marvelon as a morning after pill, the percentage of protection is still high?
Thank you very much.
