Sex before taking the pill

Unread post by veniceav »

Hi Scarleteen,
I've been on the pill now for two months and am very consistent with my pill, taking it on time every day at 11am. I'm on my 7 day into the pack. However, I had protected (used a condom) sex at 8am, a few hours before I was due to take the pill, and did not take a pill until after sex, at the the time I'm meant to take it. Because I didn't take the pill before sex and earlier than normal, would that risk me being pregnant?
Thank you!

Hello there, Veniceav. Welcome to Scarleteen. :)

I do not know what kind of pill you are taking but as long as you take it within the time window (for combined pill is 12 hours, for mini pill is 3) you can trust the effectiveness is not compromised. It really doesn't matter when you have sex, you are protected the whole time. :)
