What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy While On Birth Control Pill?

Hi. I was just recently told by someone I was with that they did not in fact pull out in time (great). I just started birth control five days before the incident (Dec. 26; thus I had taken five pills already). I also just took the morning after pill about 36 hours after having sex. I guess I would like a bit of reassurance that I ll likely be okay

HI,
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.
The fact that,you had taken emergency contraceptive.. morningafter pill 36 hours of unprotected sex.. assures you of no conception. For morning after pill can prevent pregnancy when taken 72 hours of sex.
At the same time, you had oral contraceptive 5 days before sex.. that might postpone ovulation .. thus avoiding pregnancy.
Taking oral contraceptive from 5th day of menses regularly at a fixed time in a day , regularly for 20 days itself is sufficient for contraception.
Thanks.
