Should I continue taking contraceptive pills despite using the withdrawal method after unprotected sex?

Hi doctor,

I had unprotected sex on my 9th day on the pill (Ethinylestradiol 30 mcg; Levonorgestrel 125 mcg). It was already my third packet. My partner and I still used the withdrawal method. However, I still panicked even though I was taking the pill consistently and at the same time.

So I decided to take four pills of the same brand yesterday and another four after 12 hours as a form of ECP the day after sex. Then I continued with my 10th pill on the pack the same day. Would this put me at risk of pregnancy?

Would overdosing on hormonal pills negate its effectiveness?

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Should I just keep on taking my pills on the current pack? Now on my 11th day, or should I start a new pack?

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

You mentioned that my period might be delayed.

Does this apply to withdrawal bleeding? I usually get my withdrawal bleeding during my 3rd day on the placebo pills. Will it also be delayed?

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

But will I still get it during the placebo week, or is there a chance to bleed during my first week on the new pack?

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Hi doctor,

Am I still protected for the next seven days even though I took ECP during my 10th day on the pill?

Thank you so much. How can I rate your services?

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have been drinking pills with 28 tablets (7 placebo pills). If I want to skip my bleeding, can I proceed with a new pack after the 21st pill? Would I still be protected once I start the new pack?

Thank you for the reply.
