Birth control. Can she get pregnant?

[Breebree4000]

Hi, my girlfriend is on a birth control pill called Quasense, a generic for Seasonale. We had intercourse three times in 5 hour period of time. Obviously, I'm worried because I didn't put a condom on.

I'm worried that her birth control won't work and she might get pregnant.

Is she taking it correctly? Has she missed any doses or taken any late?

Nope, she's gotten them all on time.

If she has taken her pill, tough call but it should be okay. The thing with this particular pill is you only get a period 4 times a year. If you get paranoid about it ask her to do a home preg. test; otherwise, you will be waiting it out for a few months. DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!!

How long will it take for a pregnancy test to show that she is or is not pregnant?

[sera300]

Approximately 10-14 days after intercourse.

Yeah that would be one con to the 3mth pills in that you have to wait sooo long until you are sure you got your period... instead of just waiting a few weeks.

Also... the amount of sex doesn't really mean anything... she could get prego just as easily from one time as 10... I mean it just takes one little guy.

I am not sure about the PT when you are taking the Seasonale. I know just regularly you are able to take the test like a week b4 you are expecting your period... but most take it when they realize their period is late.

I am sure Sera will know

Are the odds against us or on our side?

If she takes her pill as directed, does not skip or change time, and does not take meds which will interact with the BCP, you should be fine.

If she is taking her pill correctly then the odds of her getting pregnant are very slim.
