What Are The Chances Of Getting Pregnant After Taking Ipills?
I ve been taking Marvelon birth control for 9 days. The package states that after 7 days of active pills, I will no longer need a backup form of contraception. Today my boyfriend ejaculated inside of me. I haven t missed a pill and I ve been taking it as told. What are the chances of me being pregnant?

Hallow Dear,
The pills act in the same cycle provided they have been started from day 2 of the cycle. If they are started late then some backup contraception is needed.
You are regular in taking the pills. So if you have started taking the pills well in time, you are well protected against the pregnancy. However, if you have started them late, you will have to take some additional precaution by taking double dose of pills on the next day of the intercourse and a day after that.
I hope this helps you.
