Brief Answer: The possibility of pregnancy is less Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for the query. The possibility of pregnancy is less in your case. As: -In case of regular periods usually ovulation will not occur on 5th day of menstrual cycle. -You got withdrawal bleeding after taking novelon. Irregularity in menstrual cycles can occur due to many causes like: - Hormonal imbalance due poly cystic ovary disease, stress and strain, weight changes etc, - Thyroid hormonal abnormalities, -Prolactin level abnormalities etc. So, once consult gynecologist and get evaluated to find out the cause for your problem and get treated accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the answer, please give your review at the end of the discussion. Take care.

Brief Answer: Possibility of pregnancy is less Detailed Answer: Hi, After completion of hormonal pills sometime it may take around one week to get the withdrawal bleeding. As you got withdrawal bleeding and as there is no history of intercourse after that, the possibility of pregnancy is very less. Take care.
