Can 28-day contraceptive pills protect me from pregnancy?

Patient's Query

Hello, I'm on the 28 day contraceptive pills. I have been taking my pills everyday on time, however yesterday was my 16th day but I took the 21st day pill instead. I am just now realizing so I took the 16th pill that was meant for yesterday along with my 17th day pill for today. I had sexual intercourse yesterday so will the pills still protect me from getting pregnant?

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

Since an incorre­ct pill was consumed, the possibility of pregnancy has slightly incre­ased. It's crucial to utilize additional protection for the­ next seven days, such as condoms. Continue­ taking your regular pills, but exercise­ heightened caution. If any unusual symptoms like­ nausea or irregular blee­ding occur, please consult a gynecologist

I'm missing my period for two days should I take pregency test

Female | 30

Missing your period for two days is not necessarily an indication of pregnancy. But if you are sexually active and have missed your period, taking a pregnancy test is a good idea. Otherwise consult with a gynecologist or obstetrician for further evaluation and guidance on how to proceed.

I had unsafe sex just after a of my period can I be pregnant? Because the sperm is not gone inside the vagina . please help me what to do ...to avoid pregnancy

Female | 19

You can even get pregnant if you have sex before your period is over. Sperm lives inside the body for up to five days so if you have had sex during your period, the sperm might fertilize an egg. To prevent pregnancy, it is advisable to use a type of contraception like condoms or birth control pills. Please contact a gynecologist for contraceptive pills
