 What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Taking Microgynon 30 Ed?

Hello. I have had unprotected sex 5 days ago on Friday. And yesterday I had gone to the doctors and the hospital and they provided me with the Microgynon 30 morning after pills. does that mean I will still become pregnant or is there a chance that I am not?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Microgynon 30 ED is a combined oral contraceptive pill. This contraceptive contains two types of female sex hormones, oestrogen and progestogen. It contains Levonorgestrel and Ethinylestradiol. It is to be used as regular contraceptive pill by taking one pill at a time.
However, you can use Microgynon 30 ED as 'emergency contraceptive pill' or 'morning after pill', when you have unprotected intercourse to prevent unwanted or accidental pregnancy.
You need to take 4 pills at once within 120 hours of the event and 4 more pills at once after 12 hours. You need to consume tablets of first 21 among 28 tablets in the blister.
These pills would prevent pregnancy by causing breakthrough bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of intake of the pills. In case you do not get bleeding by 3 weeks, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
