Can I Get Pregnant After Unprotected Sex With Lutera?
I was recently put on Lutera as a "quick start" so I was told to start whenever I wanted. I've taken 7 consecutive pills at 7PM each day. The eighth day I took it promptly at 7PM but had unprotected sex after. Should I be worried that I could be pregnant? I'm 19 years old, 5'1", 98 pounds. It was my first time having unprotected sex. I'm not allergic to any types of medication and only taking multivitamins right now.

Hi, thanks for posting in the HCM.
From the information provided, my understanding is that you are on combined oral contraceptive pills containing LNG and ethinyl estradiol. Hence, I would say these COCPs are very good contraceptives and very less failure rate. But, in case there is a failure, the chance of ectopic pregnancy is higher. So, if you miss your usual periods or have spotting or pain abdomen, immediately get one urine pregnancy test and ultrasound scan of lower abdomen done.
Another thing I should tell you that that these pills are not protective against sexually transmitted diseases. So, please be careful and ask your partner to use condom everytime during intercourse.
Please also avoid multiple sexual partners (if applicable) and unprotected oral or anal intercourse (if applicable).
If you or your partner develops any genitourinary symptom, both of you should visit the nearest STI clinic for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope you are satisfied with my answer. If you have any further query related to this, please write back.
In case you have any new query in future, you can directly ask me questions @ http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-kaushik-sarkar/68460. I will try my level best to help you.
