Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to our community with your questions.
The main ingredients in Reclipsen are ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel. This combination pill contains female hormones to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medicine also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
Did you make up for the missed doses?
Inside a woman's body, sperm can live for up to five days depending on the conditions. If you have unprotected sex even a few days before you ovulate, there is a chance of achieving a pregnancy.
Anonymous, missing two active pills in a row could have triggered ovulation. Ejaculated sperm could still have been alive by Saturday and Sunday.
Have you taken your pill today? Contact your gynecologist's office. Report what has happened. Ask if you should continue taking the active pills. I would think, if you do not have bleeding on the last week (of inactive pills), you should test for pregnancy.
