Hi,
Success of contraceptive pill depends on regularity in taking the pills. If the pill is stopped half way of the course, there is possibility of removing inhibition to ovulation. Which may occur & cause conception, in case there is unprotected sex.
Now you again started the pill with your gastritis medicine. Gastritis medicine does not interfere with contraception. But again in case there was conception in midway break. The pills would cause hazard to the fetus.
*You will have periods within 8 days of finishing the contraceptive pills. If there is no pregnancy.
* I would suggest pregnancy test after 8 days of finishing the pills. And if the test is positive...please get the pregnancy terminated.
*Hence forward, please be regular in taking contraceptive pills without a break.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
