Had Sex Without Following 7 Day Rule Of Taking Nordette. Pregnant?
Its my first time to use a contraceptive pill - Nordette. On the 6th day of taking the pill, my husband and I had sex. Will I get pregnant because we did not follow the 7day rule of taking pills for the first timers? Please note that it has been 32hrs since we had it and I took the pill still the usual time the following after we did it.

Hello,
If you start the pill from Day 1 of cycle, then unprotected sex on 6th day is relatively safe period if previous cycle was regular. Here, chance of pregnancy is low.
You would continue rest of the pills and use some back up method like condom for this month till body is adjusted with hormones. Wait for next period and do a home pregnancy test if it is delayed more than a week.
Good luck.
