Question : The first day of my last period was 30 July and me and my partner had unprotected sex last sunday 9 Aug. We're still not ready to get pregnant. He withdrew but I was concerned so I took Marvelon 4 tabs within 3 hours and another 4 tabs 12 hours after. How likely are we to get pregnant? Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Less than 5%.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You had an unprotected sex on day 10 of the period which was not very fertile period of the cycle. Also your partner withdrew and you took the 4 pills 12 hours apart as emergency contraceptive within 24 hours. This makes the possibility of pregnancy remote. The chances of pregnancy in your case is less than 5%.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
