Pop pill

[CharlieHaylett]

Hello could you help me...

I started taking the POP pill on Wednesday 5th of this month and I have sex within the first week of taking it?

What does that mean?

Will I get pregnant?

Hi Charlie,

After you start taking the POP it takes 2 days to become effective (i.e. to prevent you from getting pregnant).

If you had unprotected sex within the first 2 days then there is a risk of pregnancy, but if it was after that then it's OK, providing you've taken your pills on time and not missed any.

Have a look here for more info about the POP.
