Does Having Unprotected Sex While On Diane Cause Pregnancy?

I had a d&c last may 5. Since I cant get pregnant right away, my OB gaved me althea but i really dont like the side effects. I was able to finish the 1st pack and the 7 days pill free. But since i dont like althea s side effect, on the 8th day I took Diane because i used it before and i never had any problems. On the 1st day of taking diane me and my husband had unprotected sex. Question is, am I safe or not? Thanks.

Hello,

So, this is more than a month since the D&C, using haphazard hormonal birth control doesn't get it established as effective and is the major reason for failure, so, yes, potentially.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
