General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and welcome.

If you had unprotected sexual intercourse whilst on femilon or during the 7 days off it, you should be protected from conception. But if you had unprotected sexual contact long after the course was completed then, the chances change. I would recommend you to continue the pills for a longer duration of time, and use a secondary contraceptive method like condoms during the 7 days off the pill.

Best wishes.
