Can pregnancy occur while taking estradiol and dydrogesterone tablets?
Generally, taking estradiol and dydrogesterone tablets will not lead to pregnancy. This medication is short-acting, and it can achieve contraceptive effect within a week of use. Therefore, having sex after a week of medication will not result in pregnancy. It should be noted that if medication is taken during non-menstrual periods, ovulation may have already occurred during the medication period, and sexual intercourse during this time may also lead to unintended pregnancy.
Will Pregnancy Occur During the Administration of Estradiol and Dydrogesterone Tablets?
If a woman starts taking estradiol and dydrogesterone tablets on the first or fifth day of her menstrual cycle, having sex one week after starting the medication will not result in pregnancy, as estradiol and dydrogesterone tablets are short-acting contraceptives that will take effect after one week of administration. However, if medication is taken during non-menstrual periods, ovulation may have already occurred during the medication period, and sexual intercourse after medication may lead to unintended pregnancy. Additionally, it is important not to miss any doses during medication, as missing doses can also affect contraceptive effectiveness.
