The pill and pregnancy

Unread post by Reemor »

Iv be on Dianette (the pill) for 2 months now, today I took the last pill (21st pill) so I am off the pill for 7 days from tomorrow, my period normally comes 2 days after I finish that months pills. I was wondering if my chances of getting pregnat were high or low, if I were to have sex tomorrow ( first day off the pill, 2 days before period) while using a condom? Thanks :D

Your pill gives you equal protection at all times of the month, whether it's during your active pills or during the placebo pill week; you can read more about how that works here: How do birth control pills really work, even during the placebo period?
So, the risk of pregnancy tomorrow will be the same as any other day! You can find information about the effectiveness of using the pill & condoms together here: The Buddy System: Effectiveness Rates for Backing Up Your Birth Control With a Second Method
