Can I Get Pregnant Post Unprotected Sex Despite Being On Cerazette?

I have been taking cerazette for 3 years.. I didn't take it for 1 week as I was working away and forgot to pack it. On my return I restarted my pills.. 2 days later I had unprotected sex with my partner. Will the cerazette still be working even tho I have missed a week but have taken it for 3 years???

Hello,
Yes you can be pregnant.
The chances of pregnancy increases if you have missed your birth Contol pills for more than two days.
Since you restarted your pills,you did unprotected sex after two days of pill,chances of pregnancy are there.
Whenever birth control pills are started,it is advised to use condom for atleast 1 week to prevent pregnancy.
Thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you have missed couple of dose then this is okay still you would get the contraceptive effect, let me tell you, that no contraceptive methods are hundred per cent promising, so if you miss the period then better get done the pregnancy test, take care, have a nice day.
