Is Viorele A Safe Birth Control Option After Unprotected Intercourse?

My girlfriend has been on one birth control pill for several months, I ejaculate inside her regularly with no problems. Today she switched over to Viorele pills, how safe is it to ejaculate inside her with these pills? Also should I wait to do this again since it s her first day on it or will it have the same effectiveness because she s been on the other one?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Viorele is a safe contraceptive option. It contains combination of desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol hormone which prevent ovulation & therefore pregnancy, but you have to take it before having sex to prevent pregnancy. It is usually started on 1st day of menstrual bleeding & is taken in 28-day cycles consisting of 1 tablet daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day interval without medication.
I would like to know when she had her periods or withdrawal bleeding due to previous birth control pills. If she has stopped from previous pills in last 2-3 days & still has not had her periods, she could start viorele pill on 1st day of bleeding. there would be no chance of pregnancy then.
If she has stopped taking those pills more than a week ago & had her last bleeding in this period. She might get pregnant& Taking Viorele after having sex will not prevent pregnancy. For preventing pregnancy after having sex, an emergency contraceptive pill may be useful in that case.

Refer to a gynaecologist
