Is Pregnancy Possible Through Intercourse A Few Days After Discontinuing Mononessa?

Hi, my name is Shania. Soo to be honest i haven t had a check up in over a year, i know i know not good. But anyways i got prescribed birth control mononessa, and took it for a year with some change, anyways last September i finished the pack and decided to stop since i wasnt sexually active often what about every 8 months when i see my bf we have intercourse more than once but then won t see him for that time frame. anyways last September we had intercourse id say a few days after stopping the pill, which i finished my period around that time too. I did take a morning after pill one of those days too. So i took a pregnancy test about a month after it came out negative though i did get my period that October anyways. That November i believe i had a light period for one to two days around thanksgiving that s it. And a side note my periods are always light and last 3-5 days normally. Anyways i haven t had a period since then and now its the middle Or so or may. I had intercourse again within the week of the 2-8th of may and around the 11th i started noticing my irritableness has been way worse than normal. Ive had lots of craving, i feel like im breathing heavier for things i normally don t breathe that heavy for, i also noticed i could be sitting doing arm work but come home tired like if i ran a marathon. I haven t taken a pregnancy test since it hasn t been that long since intercourse. Oh and i took a pregnancy test back in February and it was negative. I ve had A LOT of stress within this last year too on top of everything! can you please help me im scared now i don t mind if im pregnant but im scared if im not because i feel like if im not, something serious is wrong and im scared of bad news im afraid ill be told i have this diesease or have cancer or will never be able to have kids or that I m dying so young. Please can you help me by maybe telling me what the possibilities are even the bad news, im scared yet dying to know

Hi,

Yes. Mononessa acts by preventing ovulation which is normally reactivated by withdrawal of pills and ovulation reestablishes. Hence, pregnancy is possible after few days of stopping pills. You have occasional sex...was taking Mononessa pills to prevent pregnancy so pregnancy had very low chance all these days. Mostly pregnancy starts after discontinuing the pills as periods start regularly after that.

Absence of re establishment of periods after withdrawal needs to be investigated for ovulation (as it is a must for conception). Absence of menses without pregnancy indicates some hormonal irregularity and can be corrected with specific treatment. I don't see any possibility of non-conception, without getting investigated. Nor it's a sign of cancer. Please stop getting scared. Consult a gynecologist to get a normal and healthy reproduction.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
