hi! i have been using althea pills for a year and stopped for about 3 years. Now, i again started taking them and on my 3rd day on my first pad of pills i had unprotected sex. It is my 12th day in the cycle and i realized i am not safe anymore. do i get the chance of being pregnant? i took 2 althea tabs the following day as a substitute for emergency pill. will this work? please help me. thank you
Welcome to Chat Doctor.12 the day of cycle is fertile period, during this day chances of pregnancy is there, but you are taking Althea tab from 3rd day regularly then there is no any chance of pregnancy. It will work for contraceptive effect and even no need to take any extra pill.Don't get anxious. Continue your pill.
