She wonders whether there is a risk of pregnancy in the event of unprotected sexual intercourse




Doctor, I have been taking contraceptives for a month. Is there a risk of getting pregnant without protection?

If you have already completed a full cycle of contraceptive use, you are protected against an unwanted pregnancy, and even if you started using contraceptives on the first day of your cycle and have sexual intercourse, you are also protected in that first cycle.

What I think is important is to talk to your gynecologist, ask him to explain the protection mechanisms to you in detail.

Just to recap: if you started using the method on the first day of your period, you are already protected on the first cycle. If you did not start taking it on the first day, but have already completed a full cycle, you are also protected in the second month from unwanted pregnancy.
