A member asked:

Started to take contraception pills after ovulation and took it for 13 days and then i had unprotected sex several times could i get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you start the pill on day 1 of your cycle then yes you can get pregnant. If you start the pill on the Sunday after your menses start then you should wait a month before unprotected sex.
