What Are The Chances Of Getting Pregnant After An Unprotected Sex?

one week ago i had unprotected sex .i am on levlen and usually remember to take it every day but at all different times as i am very forgetful... i was on day 14 of my pill packet when this happened and didnt take any of my other pills after this for the next week as i had to get on a plane the next morning and didnt even think about it. so now its hits me and im a bit worried of my chances of being pregnant? any ideas or advice of the chances of this?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
You are on levlen, and it is highly effective in preventing pregnancy.
You have taken pill every day but not on specific time.
But it does not affect efficacy of it to prevent pregnancy.
Irregular use increase side effects.
Chance of pregnancy is extremely rare.
Take remaining pill regularly on specific time by putting reminder in mobile.
If your period will delay by chance more than 7 days then undergo urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you

Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
