What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Unprotected Sex With Pills Usage?
Question: Hi, I have just started taking zoely pill 2 weeks ago, where I had ruled out pregnancy. I had one unprotected encounter 7 days after commencing the pill and now 5 days after the encounter a urine test(s) are showing positive.
Since it is so early on, is it likely the urine test is showing a false positive due to the fact that I have continued taking the pill?
Thanks
