How likely am I to get pregnant if I use microgynon regularly?

Doctor's Answers 1

There's a very similar question on Microgynon usage, and chances of pregnancy here.

Essentially, you are protected from getting pregnant after 7 days of consistent use of birth control pills. Consistent usage means that you’re taking the pill every day.

If taken correctly, Microgynon protects against pregnancy 99% of the time. This means that less than 1 of 100 women will get pregnant with perfect use of the pill.

Microgynon (when taken correctly) works by preventing the egg from being released, so even if your boyfriend ejaculates inside you, there is no egg present for the sperm to fertilise.

Am I protected from pregnancy if my husband ejaculates in me while I'm taking the Pill?

Thank you for your interesting question. Microgynon is a widely used contraceptive. Meaning that if you have been taking it regularly as per prescribed by your doctor, you should be protected from pregnancy. That said, even though you might be fully following the instructions, there is still a small chance of getting pregnant. This could sometimes be related to: The weight of the patient (ie > 59kg) Taking antibiotics and other medications that may interact with the Pill. If you are super paranoid about pregnancy, you can consider using 2 methods combined, or using an IUD/implanon.

It is very unlikely that you are pregnant if you did not have intercourse, or come into direct contact with semen.
