Hi, Welcome to HCM.I understand your concern. Althea pills are combined oral contraceptives also used for control of acne. So when you are regularly taking Althea pills.. without a break ,(except for the pill free week after 21st (last )pill in a pack.) there is no possibility of conception.even if you have unprotected sex....as the pills avoid ovulation which is essential for pregnancy But if you are irregular in pill taking...possibility of Spontaneous ovulation &conception. Thanks.
