Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You had inter course while on period, and it is in the safe period, means in such case you wont have the ovum released, and wont have conception.So you need not have the microgynon.
Ovum is usually released between 11th to the 20th day of the period on one day in this period, and viable for 24 hours , only in that period if you have sex get the pregnancy. Other days if you have sex also wont get the pregnancy.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to have a good health.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If you are having regular periods, no need to take the pill.
Because usually in case of regular menstrual cycles, ovulation will not occur during menstruation.
So, the possibility of pregnancy is very less in your case.
If you are having irregular menstrual cycles and if you are not able to demarcate between bleeding due to ovulation or menstrual flow, then you can use the pills. Microgynon is a combined hormonal contraceptive pill.
The number 30 and 20 indicate the estrogen dose in those tablets.
They can be used for the purpose of emergency contraception.
But as I told it may not be needed in your case.
Take care.
