Could I be pregnan?

Question

I take contraception pills and after every treatment there's a week free
and that's when the periot comes.
I had my period as usual but the next day after my period ended I had sex and I didn't use a condom. That day I started taking the new box of the treatment.
My question is: how many posibilities do I have to be pregnan?

Answer 1

You should be fine, the pill is 99% effective, as long as you took it as directed by your doctor. Didn't miss any doses, took it at the same time each day and started the new pack on time, If you were sick (i.e. stomach virus) and vomiting there is always a chance as you may have taken the pill but not kept it in your system long enough to be effective. Also, if you are on any other prescription or vitamin/herbal supplements this can also affect the effectivness of the pill. If you are that concerned, buy a pregnancy test and take it, it's peace of mind to you. Isn't that what really matters instead of everyone else's opinion on here easing your mind til your next period.

Answer 2

A normal woman with a normal period has her ovulation 14 days after the first day of her period example; if your period is in Feb 1 your ovulation days are in betwen the Feb 14 could be 3 days before the Feb14 or 3 days after the Feb 14 all depends of the woman.When the woman is taking contraceptive the period is very precise in a 99% of the women so if you had sex the next day after your period you have a .01% of posibilities to be pregnant so don't worry everything is OK.

And remember if you miss the pill the first day you have to take two the second day and then continue your treatment as usual.

Answer 3

The pills stay in your system so you should be ok. Being nervous like this is just going to make you sick. Relax a little bit, if you're still worried in a couple of weeks take a pregnancy test. Condoms PLUS the pill is always a good idea because neither are 100% safe. However, as long as you haven't skipped any you should be just fine.

Answer 4

Chances of being prgnant are very remote. Settle your mind by taking a home test. The body doesnt normally release an egg until mid cycle, this is when you are most likely to conceive. Just after menstruation is a less risky time.
Remember condoms also protect against sexually transmitted diseases and should be used. Some STD's aren't visible to the eye as herpes are, but may make you sick or infertile.

Answer 5

You only ovulate 2 weeks after the first day of your period. That is most cases, if you are not using protection when having sex that greatly increases your risks. Sometimes you can have a one day period if you are already pregnant from the month before. Bottom line if you cant afford to have a baby; you cant afford to have sex. Good luck get a at home pregnancy test if you are unsure.

Answer 6

First of all don't listen to all these people that say you couldn't have gotten pregnant. Biologically speaking it very rare for you to be pregnant right after your period, but it's not out of the question. Although you may be worried about pregnancy you should also be worried about S.T.I's and/or HIV. Be smart and next time use a condom! Since you can't change your past...learn from it. To fully answer your question, you probably have a less than 5% chance of being pregnant...but i guess you will just have to wait and see

Answer 7

If you only started the pack they said it's not 100% effective in the beginning (first month). If you've been taking it over a period of time- you should be fine. During that week off, even though you are still not taking the pills, you should not be able to become pregnant.

Answer 8

If you had sex a day or 2 after your period ended probably not pregnant. Day 1 of your cycle is the first day of you period. You usually ovulate on day 14.

Answer 9

You cant be pregnant. The week after your mentrual cycle you cant be pregnant. Usually you ovulate around day 14 (14 days after starting your period) and that time is time to be very careful. If your cycle is around 30 days then avoid around day 16. Basically avoid sex all together if you dont want to get pregnant and you arent careful with protection.

Answer 10

Probably not.

I've put it in detail on this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsunCXrtyYn7iguN5XUxOGfsy6IX?

The pill is designed to give you a week off each time, and it should theoretically protect you during this week off, so you should be covered by that, let alone the fact that ovulation is 14 days BEFORE your period, not after :)
