Is Pregnancy Possible Through Intercourse While On Placebo Contraceptive Pills?
I am taking Diane 35 pills and it s my second blister now. I didn t miss any pill last first blister but on its 3rd week, I doubled the dose because I thought I miss one but no. Anyhow I resumed taking it until I finished first blister. I had 7days off pill. My period came on the 6th day of the free days. On the 8th day, I started taking my second blister at the same time until now. On my 8th day of my pill, I had unprotected sex. Is there a possibility that I will get pregnant?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I have read your description and understand your concern. The possibility of becoming pregnant in case you do not miss your scheduled contraceptive pill intake is highly unlikely as the protection with birth control pill is more than 99%. Hence, you need not be worried about pregnancy from happening anytime you have unprotected intercourse during anytime of your cycle. Hence, please continue to take the birth control pill as advised. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
