Combined pill

Hey, I've been using the pill rigevidon for a few months now and last month I decided to shorten my 7 day break to four days, I then had unprotected sex two days after and I'm super worried about it even though it's probably stupid, so I was just wondering if I was alright in regards to pregnancy and if it affects contraception? Thanks :)

Maybe, maybe not. Do stick to the recommendations as they are there for a reason.

Take a test in a couple of weeks and find out if you're pregnant and consider other options for contraception if you do not like the pill.

Hope ir works out.

If you started your pill earlier, that is fine. A shortened pill interval isn't an issue. Some people even take their packets back to back. When you wait more than 7 days, That's when you have to worry.
