Never say never.: Over a one year period if the loestrin24 fe is taken correctly (no missed pills) the pregnancy rate is about 1%. The pregnancy rate can increase to 5% if the contraceptive is not taken regularly (some pills are missed).

Question 2

how can someone get pregnant on lo loestrin fe?

Accepted Answer

Usually that: Should not happen, but if you miss a pill , or did not absorb the pill properly, which could happen if you were taking an antibiotic for an infection or if you vomited a pill, u could break thru ovulate and get pregnant, no birth control is 100% that is a very good pill and the #1 pill i prescribe esp for my pts in late 30s and 40s as it has the least hormones which is safer.

Question 3

Efficacy: Over a one year period if the loestrin24 fe is taken correctly (no missed pills) the pregnancy rate is about 1%. The pregnancy rate can increase to 5% if the contraceptive is not taken regularly (some pills are missed).

Question 4

hi. so i've been on lo loestrin fe since july/august.my "friend" and i want have sex and i want to know what are the chances of getting pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Low: The pregnancy risk while taking the oral contraceptive pill is 91-99% depending on compliance. The pill is very convenient and effective and provides health benefits that reach far beyond pregnancy prevention. But to be fully effective, birth control pills need to be taken correctly. Missing even a few doses greatly increases your chances of pregnancy from 9%.

Question 5

i do not recieve a period on lo loestrin fe, do i still ovulate and what are the chances of me getting pregnant if i had unprotected sex?

Accepted Answer

Low risk: One of the nice side effects of Lo Lo Estrin is light or absent periods. This is what makes it popular. It is still designed to prevent pregnancy and stop ovulation. When taken correctly it is very effective. Because it is super low dose there is no margin for error. If you miss pills you can not rely on it. If you are missing pills consider an easier more effective method such as an IUD

Question 6

on first month lo loestrin fe birth control, did not use condom, but he did not ejaculate inside. chances of getting pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Failure rate of BC-pills has been around 2-8% per year as used in average people and about 0.;3 % per year in perfect use. Note: No known contraceptives offer 100 % guaranty. Getting accidental pregnancy is bound to happen no matter how you practice birth control. Yet, just do the best you can by following current available measures for safe sex. That is a part of reality; so, be responsible.

Question 7

i don't get a period on lo loestrin fe. how will i know if i get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Take a test: One of the best things about Lo Loestrin FE is that you do not get periods or if you do they are very light. This makes it a popular pill. If you are taking it everyday and not forgetting it then you can rely on it for effective contraception. If you aren't good at remembering it then you will have to take a pregnancy test BUT you should also choose a different easier method like an lUD

Question 8

could i still get pregnant the first day of switching from lo loestrin fe to sprintec? we used a condom but it looked like it started to slip off?

Accepted Answer

Low risk: You can take last tablet of loestrin, then begin sprintec the next day without any loss of birth control. It is quite good but not perfect.

Question 9

my girlfriend and i had sex two nights ago the condom ripped. however, my girlfriend has been on lo loestrin fe for two weeks. will she get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Ocps: If she has been taking her pills correctly and consistently then even though it has been only two weeks the likelihood of pregnancy is low. If there are missed or late pills consult the Dr. And perhaps utilize plan b if pregnancy would not be an option.

Question 10

with lo loestrin fe bc, could i get pregnant if i had sex then took next day's pill 7 hours late? 2nd pill of 4th pack, never missed any pills pack.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If you did not miss any pills, you need not worry. I wouldn't make too much of a seven hour delay in taking your pill although as a general rule it is good to take low-dose BCP around the same time every day.
