Unprotected sex while on lutera (within first week)
Hi well I just started lutera birth control and this is currently my 5th day on lutera. On my 5th day I had unprotected sex but he didn't come inside me I was wondering if I could get pregnant? Should I worry? By the way I didn't start the pill while on my period
I have yet to get my period and im on my last week of my first month of birth control. Your comment truly helped thanks but i do have one more question seeing as to how im speaking to a professional

Hello,
When you start with birth control pills then it take minimum of one week for the efficacy of the birth control pill to set in. Hence if you had unprotected sex without condoms on the 5th day, chances of pregnancy are there. Hence to confirm the status of pregnancy, I suggest you to test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test 10 days post ovulation with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test. Also then I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
