Suggest remedy to prevent pregnancy
Patient: Pleasant day doc.. I have finished my Althea pills last wed. I am in rest now but why i still don't have a period? I have unprotected sex during my rest day of this pills, i am worried cause it might lead to unwanted pregnancy. Thanks, hoping for your favorable response. tnx.. :) Doctor: Hello and welcome,If you have taken the pills regularly then the chances of pregnancy are very low. Periods usually come in the next seven days during the pill free days. Sometimes they may not come and it is still recommended to begin the pack after 7 days. If there are no periods and you would like to continue with the pregnancy in case it is there, then do not begin the new pack and wait for the periods for some more days and get a pregnancy test done if the periods continue to be absent for more than 7 days. However if you would not like to continue a pregnancy in case it is there, then begin a new pack after 7 days and get a urine pregnancy test done after another 7 days ( that is 14 days from now). As of now, the chances of pregnancy are very low if pills have been taken regularly and missed periods may sometimes occur while on pills so do not worry. Hope this was helpful.Thanks for asking us.
