Question
hello,
if i am on the 4th week (during my period)of the pill(the green which i usually dont take) and i finish my period say the fourth day, will/can i get pregnant if i have sex on the 5th or 6th day prior to starting a new pack of pills the following week? thanks

Answer
Hi Linda,
Please consult with your physician about this question and any others. I'm not a medical doctor but I have done a lot of research on the subject. There is a chance of pregnancy even taking the pill correctly. I'm not sure what the percentage is, but the pill is not 100% effective. Have you had any side effects and how long have you taken this pill? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you have further questions. Also if you need to have a free pregnancy test, check this website out http://www.optionline.org
They have free centers in most locations so keep that in mind.
