What Are The Chances Of Getting Pregnancy While On Lo Loestrin?
I recently started taking lo loestrin on the fifth day of my bleeding (last day of my period) but have only been on it for four days now. Last night my spouse ejaculatrd inside me. I am not ready for a child but hear I could be automatically protected as soon as I started the loloestrin. Is that true? Should I take plan b?

Lo Loestrin contains ethinyl estradiol, norethindrone. It is a combination medicine that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Also, this medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
Hence, the drug you are taking is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.
