Birth control query
I started being on birth control on the 5th day of my menstrual cycle and took it regularly for 21 days (never missed)
Ejaculation happened on the 9th day
I'm urinating very frequently from the last week and this worries me about pregnancy
I have completed my course yesterday
Is there any chance of pregnancy?
And when will I get my periods
Answers (4)
For a birth control pill to act as a contraceptive it should be taken from day one of the periods
if you take it from day 5 then the contraceptive benefit starts after 7 days frequent urination could be a sign of urinary tract infection get a test called urine routine

There is always a chance of pregnancy because no method of contraception is 100 % successful. Instead of going by your frequency of passing urine you should go for beta HCG level.
