How To Prevent Getting Pregnant After 5 Days

Hi! i had contact with my bf on the third off pill day of diane 35. I am using it for the third month now. Is there any possibility that i can get pregnant? Thanks! ## No, since the tablet will prevent ovulation, as long as you haven't missed any, you are still protected even on the days you are not taking any. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, mood swings, spotting, and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi! I am 26 years old.I have been take oralcon for a 3 day now.but I drink it at diffirent time around seven or eight sametime,can I fall pregnate ## If you are new to taking it and aren't on your period when you started it, then it takes 7 days to be effective and prevent pregnancy. As long as you keep it within a few hours, you'll be okay. The problem really arises when there's a lapse of 24 hours or more and you completely miss taking one or more tablets. But if you take one a 7 one day, then at 8 the next day, that's fine. It doesn't have to be exactly 24 hours on the dot. However, getting in the habit of taking it at the same time every day will really help you to remember, so you may want to leave yourself a reminder to take it each day, such as right when you ...

I took 2 ipills last month and deviry for 10 days this month to get my periods. I've also got pollycystic ovaries. It's been 13 days since my last deviry tablet but I have not got my periods yet. Is it hormonal imbalance or can it be pregnancy? Can I start taking deviry again to get my periods? ## Have you taken a test to see if you're pregnant, or not? That's really the only way to get an answer to that question. While both of the medications you mentioned are hormone based drugs, they will not do anything if you are already pregnant. The iPill is an emergency contraceptive, but it only works to prevent fertilization in the first 3 to 5 days. Neither it, nor the Deviry will remove an existing pregnancy. Since you also suffer from PCOS, it may be a good idea to consult y...

I used sprintec for 4 months to prevent getting cysts. I'd miss some days but I came back and took it the next day so I wasn't really taking them how I was supposed to I guess. I'm trying to get prego but I'm not sure how long I should wait. Especially now coz I started my period 2 days after I stopped taking it, what does that mean?? ## It would be normal to start your period within a few days of stopping oral contraceptives, it would work the same as the week you are taking the inactive pills in the pack. As to when you should try to get pregnant, you should consult your doctor. Sometimes, it is best to wait a few months, after stopping them, to make sure that your body has reregulated the hormones on its own. Are there any other questions or comments?

If i started sprintec a week ago on monday with out me being on my period and stopped today on a monday can it prevent me from getting pregnant? ## Hello, Brittney! How are you? No, if you start it later than the second day of your period, it takes a full 7 days for it to become effective at preventing pregnancy and it is only effective as long as you continue taking it. That's why some women have gotten pregnant from just forgetting to take one of them. The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

I drank 2 Althea pills immediately right after intercourse. This will prevent me from getting pregnant right? I've been taking it until today but my period hasn't come yet and it's been two weeks. Before the intercourse I am already 2 days late. withdrawal method. ## Hello, Nrebul! How are you? No, oral contraceptives, such as Althea, will only prevent pregnancy if you take the right dosage of them within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse. You can't just casually take 2 and expect it to work. Have you been checked for pregnancy, yet? Have you consulted your doctor? If you're not pregnant, then I suggest you start taking Althea, or another contraceptive regularly every day to prevent such scares in the future. ## Hi Verwon! Thank you for your response, I really real...

Hello My doctor prescribed me primolut n because I had 2 irregular periods the first was late a couple days and then the next came almost 15 days early and I was spotting in between the two the whole time and a week after the last period I started bleeding again much heavier than spotting so they prescribed me this. I am taking it 2 times a day every day for 15 days. After the first 3 days my abnormal bleeding was gone. My question is could I still get pregnant while taking the 15 day course of the medication? I am TTC. ## Hello SB, Primolut N contains norethisterone which is a synthetic hormone similar to the natural hormone progesterone. Even though this medicine will help regulate your menstrual cycles it does not work as a contraceptive and will not prevent you from getting pregnant...

You can start them, at any time, as long as your doctor approves, but if you don't start them on the first or second day of your period, it will take a full week for them to become effective to prevent pregnancy.

Hi, I started the pills backwards, I started on the red pills on the last day of my period. What should I do? Do I continue to take the red pills or do I start the white pills? Also are they going to work? Like will I be protected from getting pregnant? Thank you so much! ## Hello, Rose! How are you? Yes, you should have started with the active pills on the first or second day of your period, that would provide immediate protection from pregnancy, because it would prevent ovulation this month. Unless your doctor says otherwise, you should move on to the active tablets. If you start the active tablets at any time later, you must take them for a full 7 days, before they will become protective against pregnancy, according to the FDA. So, you must use a backup method of protection, until th...

I am 18 years old i have 2 kids i got the jadella in when my son was 5 days old to prevent getting pregnant an now my son is 3 an a half months old iv put on heaps of weight feel bloated all the time an im always getting my period can some one help me out with what to do i really want to take the jadella out but i dont want to get pregnant 2 kids is enough ## This type of information is probably best answered by your gynecologist, who can make a more informed decision on what other type(s) of birth control might suit you best. I would just keep in mind though that pretty much all oral contraceptives can cause weight gain and feeling bloated as side effects. So there's no way to really know ahead of time how one might end up affecting you. It seems to be more of a trial and error sor...

After taking novelon for 21 days my periods have not started. Is there any chance of getting pregnant while taking novelon? ## HI, Mini! There's always a chance of getting pregnant, regardless of what form of prevention you use. The only 100% full proof method of preventing pregnancy is abstinence. When did you start taking it? Was it the first day of your menstrual cycle? If so, you should have been protected immediately and you may be skipping just because your body is adjusting to the hormones in this medication. However, if you started taking it at any other time, such as when you weren't on your period, then it would have been necessary to use protection for the first 7 days to prevent pregnancy, because it takes that long for them to reach their full effectiveness in your ...

Help ... I stopped taking the pill a few days after my BF and I had unprotrected which was during the time I was ovulating, I'm supposed to get my period on tomorrow the 10th but had light bleeding for 2 days the 5-6th can this be implatation bleeding or just my period being thrown off because I stoppedthe pills my period usually lasts 4 days never 2 days. Please can anyone help. ## Hello, Sil! How are you? If you didn't stop them until several days after having intercourse, then you were still protected from getting pregnant. You do not ovulate while you are taking them, they actually work by prevention ovulation. And yes, stopping them abruptly in the middle of the pack would most likely cause your period to be thrown off. When you're taking oral hormonal contraceptives, y...

I have started taking Sprintec BC. I am only taking it to prevent pregnancy. Not to regulate my period. I had an Endometreal Ablation. 5 yrs.ago. I haven't had a period since then. Is it okay to start a new pack of pills without taking the plaseblos? Hoping that it will be long enough to be safe to have sec without getting pregnant. 3 weeks??? ## Yes, it is safe to do that, unless your doctor has said there was some reason why you shouldn't. And to be protected against pregnancy, you only need to take them for 7 days, continuously. Learn more oral contraceptive details here. Have you experienced any side effects from them? ## Thanks for the reply. And yes..side effects. Nausea after taking pill.
