Am I At High Risk Of Pregnancy After Missing Lutera Tablets?

Hi I ve been on lutera and I missed taking my pill once or twice but I made it up and I haven t been very consistent with the time but mostly around the same time but not the same time. And I had unprotected sex and was wondering if I have a high risk of getting pregnant

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Lutera is a combined oral contraceptive pill.
If you took the tablets as per the guidelines, the possibility of pregnancy is less.

If you took the missed pill within 24 hours, possibly complete protection can be expected.
If you missed one pill completely and didn't use any additional method of contraception, then there is possibility of pregnancy.
So, you wait for your withdrawal bleeding.
If you do not get withdrawal bleeding even one week after completion of active pills, once go for urine pregnancy test.
If the test comes negative, you can continue with your pills.
Take care.
