Hi. I’ve been taking Althea pills for almost a year now due to hormonal imbalance. I had unprotected contact with my bf on August 28 which is my fertility window (according to my period calendar), i started my pack August 17, no missed pill but sometimes I m not able to drink it on the exact time but take it immediately as soon as i remember. is there a chance that I’ll be pregnant? Although I had my period last September 14, I’m still worried. Please help. Thanks.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Althea pills are very effective as a contraceptive drug,it works begins from 3-4 hrs and spread all the body and the drug eliminated from the body about within 30-38 hrs,I think if you took that medicine on regular interval an active action of drug include first 8 to 10 hrs,the possibilities of being pregnant is absent.if you are doubt go and check with a pregnancy confirmation test,if you are pregnant taking Althea pills is not good. Thank you.
