I've been on the pill(tri-sprintec) consistently for about a year now, always taking it on time, and starting my next pack as soon as the sugar pills are used up, never starting late, never have i missed a pill. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex Thursday, after I had started my next pill pack that last Sunday. It started out protected but the condom slipped off. I'm kind of worried just need some reassurance, am I protected against pregnancy?
Thank you
Hi,
Yes you should be well covered by the pill, the fact that you take it when you should and how it should be taken... and for over a year! I would be pretty sure your o.k.
The only time this may be of concern is if you were taking antibiotics, as some of these do cancel the pill out and not all doctors remember to tell you to take extra precautions, so always remember to tell them that you are on the pill if you are not taking extra precautions already :-)
