unprotected sex and contraceptive pill question
hi this is probably a really stupid question but i havent been taking my pill(rigevidon 150) regularly for a while now as i was supposed to be off them but took them for a week last week to stop my period coming for a party. i havent taken on for a week and then last night i stupidly had unprotected sex. i am also currently on the 3rd day of my period. when i got in this morning i took a pill and plan to keep taking them for the next week at least. will this reduce my chances of getting pregnant atall?
n.b i dont think he ejaculated inside but i cant be sure :-(

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you to take emergency contraception if your encounter was less than 120 hours ago. Being off the pill for a week could have caused you to ovulate this cycle. Or maybe I don't quite understand how you took them, but start with emergency contraception (available without a prescription at most major pharmacies) and then restart your pill.
You should notify your doctor and if he/she advises differently, go with it!
Good luck!
