HI,
- If your inter course was arround ovulation,you may get pregnant.
- Althea is plant from Africa. Althea means a healer. And it s traditionally used as a healer for problems of mucus membrane ( mouth ulcers,peptic ulcers & so on.) It is also used as a nutritive( The root extracts) . It's not known to have any effect on pregnancy,I don't think taking many althea pills should prevent conception.
- The pills are just healers, I don't see any cause to avoid sex while taking the pills.
- The best way not to have baby is using contraception(Pills,IUD,Condom, Hormonal patches) with a doctor's advice.
Thanks
