Hello Doctor,
I had sex on the first day of my period and took emergency contraceptive pills. Can I get pregnant?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Typically, it is unlikely to get pregnant if you had sex on the first day of your period, especially if you took emergency contraceptive pills afterward. The emergency contraceptive works by preventing ovulation, and since it's taken soon after unprotected sex, it significantly reduces the chances of pregnancy.
2. However, while emergency contraception is effective, it's not 100% foolproof. If you have concerns or missed a dose, it’s a good idea to follow up with your healthcare provider for additional guidance.
Thanks
