Hi, I ve been using trigestrel contraceptive pills for a month now. I had an unprotected sex with my partner last night and I m a little bit scared that I might fall pregnant cause I don t know how this pills work. How effective are this pills? Do they stop the sperms from going to the egg or what? Must I just wait and see what will happen or do you suggest that I buy the morning after pills?
Hello dear. Understand your concern.done panic, its safe You can take it, It's totally safe not to take another pills, u cant be pregnantOral contraceptive is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy. After regular use, its failure rate is only 0.5-1 %. It prevents the pregnancy by inhibiting the ovulation (in inhibit the release of gonadotropin hormone) and make the cervical mucus tick, so sperm can not enter in to the uterus. It should be taken at the specific time (at bedtime) every day without missing the pill.(make habit to take daily by putting the reminder in the mobile). If you miss one tablet then take missed pill as early as possible or on the next day with that day of tablet. If you miss the two tablet then you have to use barrier contraception for next 7 days. So if you had used very regular without the missing any pill then you have no need any morning after pill. Wait for your period. It will definitely come. Hope this may help noncontact Chat Doctor for further health issue. Best regards
