Hi,

Well, no method is 100% accurate, but generally the possibility of pregnancy is very low, almost negligible if this was taken as instructed. There are instances where pregnancy have occurred with contraceptives. If intercourse was not during ovulation, then there are no chances of pregnancy. Anyways go for urine pregnancy test kit in your home with morning urine sample for confirmation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
