Changing from the combined pill to the progesterone only... I’m worried :/

I used to take the combined pill but was advised to change to the Progesterone only pill. I had my break and began the new pill on day one of my period. I took the new pill for 5 days before having unprotected sex. Could I be pregnant or is it true what the NHS website says? I’m covered straight away or after 2 days of reliable taking?

I would think you'll be ok - if the NHS says you're covered after 2 days, I don't see any reason not to trust it.

Not what you're looking for?
