Hello, I was talking to a friend about the pill and we were wondering something.
We've read that sperm can survive inside a woman for up to days. If you have sex and the next day you take the pill, can you still get pregnant?
I don't know if this is a stupid question but maybe someone can help me.

Loading...I have had my period since I was twelve years old. Because of my PCOS, it's very irregular, but I've never had spotting and my skin is very oily (even worse than usual). My last period was from May 2nd to 11th, 2024 and I hadn't had it for about 2.5 months before that. I…
Hi, I got my period for the first time yesterday and they say it's usually irregular. Will it come earlier or later or how long is the difference between them?
Hello, For some time now, I've been experiencing pain in my right leg whenever I lie down. It feels a bit like muscle soreness, sometimes tingling. It's mostly in my calf and down into my foot. Recently, the pain has even spread to my thigh. I've also been taking the pill for a few weeks,…
I stopped the three-month injection on July 7th {so I didn't renew it} and have been waiting for my period to start again ever since. How long do I have to wait?
I'm always scared after having sexual contact that I could get pregnant, even through petting or other things that shouldn't happen, and normal sex is even more difficult for me. I think I would still feel insecure even with condoms, and I don't want to take hormones, which is why I avoid sex all the…
I had sex without anything and it could be that I forgot to take the pill/or took it twice in one day. What do you do in such a situation?
With regular intake, the hormones of the pill leverage your own natural cycle and suppress both the ripening process of the egg and the ovulation.
In addition, the rearrangement of the cervical mucosa is disturbed, i.e. it is not prepared for the indentation of a fertilized egg cell, and a mucous membrane is formed at the entrance of the cervical nut, which is almost impenetrable for sperm.
The hormonal situation is then similar to that in the second, infertile cycle phase.
After at least 14 tablets, the ovaries are then virtually in deep sleep and the protection against reception also exists during regular intake breaks.
Although in this hormonal time (take pause) the ovaries which have been suppressed by the pill hormones begin again. However, this period is too short to complete the maturation process for the fertilizing egg.
For the prevention, it is only important that you take the pill correctly, i.e. regularly (or within the tolerance) and do not extend a pause and think of interactions with other medicines and consider vomiting and aqueous diarrhea within 3 to 4 hours after taking and correct an error of intake.
Then a pregnancy is almost ruled out, you are protected throughout and also during the break if it is actually a break and you are at the latest on the 8th. Day with the next blister.
Only in the case of uncorrected intake errors/exchange effects (mainly around the pause) can there be a breakthrough ovulation (unwanted spontaneous ovulation) and then also a pregnancy.
Since this question is asked more frequently here, I am surprised (and also annoyed) why not all manufacturers come up with the idea of explicitly mentioning this in the use information.
Nevertheless, I am surprised (and also annoyed) why, unfortunately, not all those who prevent pills come up with the idea of reading the usage information carefully, because in some it is just “If you use XY® as described, you are protected against pregnancy even during the 7-day intake break.”
By the way; you are online, each package leaflet can also be googlen.
Happy for you!
Thank you
Also in the pill break you are protected by the pill, according to recent studies the pill break does not even have a medical benefit to be detected. If you take the pill regularly, do not forget and take it at the same time, the protection is good, even during the break.
No, during the pill break you can’t get pregnant if you have taken the pill right every day
Pause for the period or was the pill dropped? With the pills you take 3 weeks and then take 1 week break you have nothing to fear.
Hello N0namen00b
If you take pill regularly, do not break, do not have diarrhea, and no medication will affect the effect of the pill, the pill has been taken regularly at least 14 days before the break (does not apply to the Belara and the like, there are 21 days), the break does not last longer than 7 days and you will be taken at the latest on the 8th. Continues day with the pill (applies to most pills), then you are also in the break and immediately afterwards (so uninterrupted), protected to 99.9% (the missing 0.1% refer, according to expert opinion, to unnoticed or unadmitted intake errors). You are still protected in vomiting and diarrhea if you react correctly and take a pill if it happens within 4 hours after taking the pill. In this case, only really aqueous diarrhea counts as diarrhea. If that happens, you can’t get pregnant. The pill is one of the safest contraceptives and if both are healthy they can dispense with the condom and he can also come into it.
