Pregnancy Risk After Stopping Birth Control: A Medical Assessment


Question
Hello. I stopped taking the pill  and got my period may 21.. I didn't restartthe pill until June 9. I had unrptected se almost everyday since then. How likely is it that I became pregnant?

Answer
Since you were unprotected for 2-3 weeks, you probably ovulated during that time, assuming that you normally ovulate monthly when not on the pill.  When a normal couple has sex during ovulation, there is about 25% chance of pregnancy.  So I'd say you have about 25% chance that you became pregnant.
