Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I started using althea pills on Sep. 16, buty menstruation is already finished. I never had contact on the first 7 days of taking the pills. On the 8th day i forgot to take the pill and decided to take the following morning and continue taking the pill on the 9th day. I had a contact during my 9th day. Is there a possibility that i can get pregnant?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
So you are on oral contraceptive pills for birth control. Chances of pregnancy are very less in case of single missed dose. But better to get done urinary pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy if you misses your next period. So watch for your periods. If it is regular then no need to worry for pregnancy. But if you misses then possibility of pregnancy is there.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
