Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.

* The diane contains combination of Ethinylestradiol and Cyproterone
acetate, with excellent results to prevent pregnancy.

* The Althea is anti estrogen, low potency and efficacy as compared to
Diane for prevention of pregnancy.

* As the intercourse was close to the possible ovulation period, there is
high suspicious of pregnancy.

It is recommended strongly to take a urine pregnancy test for best guidelines in this topic.

Thank you.
Regards.
