Is Pregnancy Possible While On Birth Control Pills?

Hello. I have been on birth control (vallete pill) for 1 year now. Started to help with my acne but now i have just initiated my sexual life. One week ago I had sex and the condom broke so I took plan B within 14 hours dispite I am on birth control because I was really scared of pregnancy. Today I had unprotective sex and I am just really scared that I am considering on taking plan B again, I now it is really bad for you but I heard of some people that took my pill and got pregnant anyway because it is not a strong pill. What should I do? Please help. I am 18 by the way.

Hi,

You were already on oral contraceptive (Vallete) had sex &took plan B in 14 hours of sex actually you did not need to take plan B(if you were regular with oral Vallete pill). Anyway, you had sex again after a week and thought to take plan B again. In case you had stopped your routine oral pill Vallete after a week the plan B hormone had already left your body and might stimulate ovulation this time.

So though plan B should not be repeated frequently, this time to prevent possible ovulation and pregnancy, you should take plan B. Please understand combining croutons contraception (vallete) with repeat doses of plan B would cause hormonal imbalance and irregular periods so please avoid its repeated use in future.

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

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
