Is There A Chance Of Pregnancy While On Birth Control Pills?
Hi,
I am 25 years old and I'm sexually active. I had my monthly cycle on 2nd of January and got over on 7th of January, as i have PCOD, i take diane 35 to regulate my periods. I had protected sex, means we used condoms and had sex on 8th of January and on that very night, I started taking my Diane 35 pils. Then, we had protected sex on 16th of January and after that on 24th of January. But during the time of having sex, we used condoms, and I took my pills on regular basis. My pills got over on 28th of January as the 21 pills got finished. So, according to the pills, I should get my periods on 3rd or 4th February, but haven't got yet. Is there any chance of getting pregnant? Because I haven't got my periods yet and I don't want to get pregnant. Please help!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
According to your history as you used oral contraceptive pills as per the schedule and as you had protected intercourse the possibility of pregnancy is less. Sometimes after stopping the OC pills you may get withdrawal bleeding in around 7 to 10 days and sometimes you may not get also. So if you want to be sure, please go for preferably blood test for pregnancy or urine pregnancy test once one week after stopping the pills. If the test gives negative result you can start next pack as per the schedule.
Hope I have answered your query I will be happy to answer any further follow-up queries.
Take care.
