Are there pregnancy chances after having sex while on inactive pill?
Patient: Hi. I m on ginette for 2 months,I just started my 3rd pack, and awaiting my period.. I had unprotected sex,whiles on my inactive pill,I have also taken pain killers,and I read that certain tablets mess with your contraceptive.... Could I get pregnant? Do I need to take a morning after pill? Please help. Thank you Doctor: Hello dearI understand your concernThere is no chance of the pregnancy.You are on ginette since last two months.It is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy.It has just 0.5-1% failure rate.Pregnancy will not occur as you did sex while you was on inactive pill.Again it is very safe period of the cycle.Pain killer does not affect the efficiency of the ginette.Some antibiotic like Rifampicine, Amoxicillin, ampicillin, griseofulvin, metronidazole, tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. tetracycline, minocycline, metronidazole, and nitrofurantoin.So there is no chance of pregnancy.Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.Hope this may help youContact HCM for further health queryBest regardsDr. Sagar
