A member asked:

Is pregnancy possible if the girl is diagnosed with pcos and has been taking althea pills for 18 days before intercourse? also, the guy withdrew.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible,not likely: 1- PG is always possible, even with BCP's 2-The first cycle of pills is usually not considered effective BC 3-Withdrawal, although better than nothing, is no considered effective BC 4-STD's are also a threat, always protect yourself.
