Hello,

It depends on how you started your pills. If you had your period within the 5 days before you started the pill, then the pills should be effective and prevent pregnancy.

If however, you started at a time not related to your period (which is fine), then you could become pregnant with unprotected sex in the first 5-7 days. You can count the days simply as 1, 2, 3, 4, in line with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th pills.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker
