[|Human|] Ive been taking the birth control Reclipsen for about 8 months. I had unprotected sex during the placebo week of the birth control, and got my period the next day. I have decided to not continue taking the birth control as I want to give my body a rest from the hormones, so I will not be continuing the next pack. What is the likelihood that I could become pregnant?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor. Inter menstrual bleeding or spotting during OCP is common. This occurs in the initial few months and is quite rare after 8 months. The likelihood of your pregnancy is high if you don't continue the tablets. Although the hormonal effect in suppressing the ovulation is expected to continue for 1 or 2 months after stopping the pills, it need not be so in every person and in some the fertility can return to the next period itself. The safe period to avoid pregnancy is only for a week from the day of onset of period, so if you don't continue the pill the chances of pregnancy is more. Otherwise, you should opt for another protection method like condom till the onset of the next period. I hope this is useful.
