Good morning. Unfortunately, but I forgot to put a new disc after a 7-day break. I always do it on Wednesday at 10 p.m. and I didn't put it on until Thursday at 6. Earlier on Saturday I had intercourse. Is there a risk that as a result of this intercourse I could get pregnant?

If the establishment of the new system is delayed by more than 3 hours, its contraceptive effectiveness may be reduced. According to the description for vaginal discs in the section "Management when, after a week's break, the patient forgot to put on a new vaginal therapeutic system": "If the interruption in the use of the vaginal therapeutic system was longer than 7 days, a new system should be established as soon as possible. If intercourse occurs during the next 7 days, an additional method of contraception (e.g. a male condom) should be used. If intercourse took place during a break in the use of the vaginal therapeutic system, there is a possibility of pregnancy. In this case, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible. The longer the pause in the vaginal therapeutic system, the greater the likelihood of pregnancy." The overall risk of pregnancy does not seem large - sperm survival is limited, and your delay (although it was more than 3 hours) was not very large. However, according to the documentation of the drug, I must provide information as above. I enclose additional information: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/krazki-dopochwowe
