Hi, girlfriend has been waiting to have her period for 3 days now after coming off the Ginet 84 pill. We have had sex a few times all time whilst she was on the pill and with a condom. Just wondering if there is a chance that she is pregnant. Also she has been feeling sick and currently has a fever. Thanks
Hi, If your friend has taken Ginnet 84, regularly (there is no missed pill),& also used condom- I don't see any chance of conception for her. As she has already a gap of 3 days, let her wait for periods to come.If pill was missed,& there was no bleeding during inactive pills,consider pregnancy. Ginnet 84 pills h...
