Will althea prevent from getting pregnant?
Patient: Hi, my bf and i had sex on the 3rd of oct, im supposed to have my period on oct 17th. And now its the 24th, 7 days late and i still don t have my period yet. We used protection and withdrawal. Is it possible im pregnant? I started taking althea 3days ago. Doctor: hello,As per your due date, you did sex close to your ovulation period and withdrawal method has high failure rate (15 to 27 %).As your period is 7 days late, you should undergo one home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. Althea pill is not helpful at this stage. Kindly, consult with your local doctor.
