Althea Pills After Intercourse

What happens if you take Althea immediately after intercourse? Will it get you pregnant or something?

REPLY

REPORT

No, it actually helps prevent pregnancy. By upping the dose, one can take it after unprotected intercourse as an emergency contraceptive to help prevent pregnancy.

Just one tablet, taken after intercourse, will not work. It either needs to be a higher dose, or a woman must be taking it regularly, each day.

However, upping the dose on your own is not safe and should only be done under your doctor's instruction and approval.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I drank 2 Althea pills immediately right after intercourse. This will prevent me from getting pregnant right? I've been taking it until today but my period hasn't come yet and it's been two weeks. Before the intercourse I am already 2 days late.
withdrawal method.

Ideally, start the new pack on the last day of your period. If you take it that way, immediate yung effect ng pill.

If you took it any other day, you have to have other methods of contraception (ex condom or withdrawal) if you want to engage in intercourse.

Hi. I have been taking birth control (Althea) pills for 2 months now. Is there any possibility that I could get pregnant while taking birth control pills? Recently I felt nausea and upper abdominal pain. I feel like vomiting but nothing will come out. My stool is also dark brown and wet. Is it hyper-acidity or am I pregnant?

My gf gave me a handjob and I came. I touched my penis (im not sure if I got some on my hands cause it was dark and I didn't touch the tip) to shake the semen off then pulled my pants back up. She sat on me with both of our clothes on and we hugged normally (no lewd acts). We then proceeded to put lotion on my hands to touch her breasts then after a couple of minutes, put more lotion on to touch her vagina. I'm worried that there was semen on my hand when it penetrated her vagina and possibly got her pregnant. She started taking althea pills as a precaution. What is the possibility of her getting pregnant?
