Hello doctor! Doctor let me ask, oral contraceptive pill, if you finish taking the first pack and have sex within 7 days of stopping taking the pill, is it possible to get pregnant? I hope the doctor can help me. Thank you.

Hello! Oral contraceptives are female hormones in nature. Blister form usually has 28 tablets or 21 tablets, used for a month. The contraceptive effectiveness of daily oral contraceptives can be as high as 99.7% in women who take the pill fully and have regular menstrual cycles.
So, in case you use oral contraceptive pills daily in blister form of 21 pills and are in 7 days of stopping the pill, the pill will still be effective!
