Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I finished my 21-day pill pack yesterday, and I want to have intercourse today. But I will not be starting a new pill pack till after seven days as I will be implanting an IUD. Am I safe this whole week? Are there chances of pregnancy? Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query. I read your query and understood your concern.
In a menstrual cycle of 28 days, 14 days are safe, counting from day one, seven days before, and seven days after your period. You are on a 21-day pill, you finished the pack, and now it is your 27th day of period, so, if you count from day one, it is a safe day.
I hope my advice will be helpful. Feel free to reach out if you have any further queries.
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
Is it alright if I do not start a new pack in seven days? Practically will I still be safe during these seven-day pill-free week? Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You start from the fifth, and not on the seventh day.
Thank you.
