Question : Hello Doctor. I have been taking Dronis 30 (along with Pyricontin) for almost 6+ years now for my acne but I am aware Dronis 30 is also a contraceptive. I took Dronis 30 until 5th March and it got discontinued until 18th April. I got my periods on 12th April and started taking Dronis 30 on 19th April again. I took it nonstop until 5th I got my periods on 9th and started Dronis 30 again on the 5th day of my periods on 13th I had unprotected sex on 14th Is there any chance of me getting pregnant? I'm a light smoker.

Brief Answer:
You are protected against pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since you started taking Dronis on day 5, the chances of pregnancy after unprotected sex are minimal . It was not the fertile period of your cycle . It is best to continue taking Dronis regularly and stay protected .

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
