Am I pregnant if I take birth control pills for two days in a row?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex intermittently these last two days, and neither of us has been using contraception. My period just finished three days ago. Hello, could I be pregnant like this? I have taken birth control pills for two consecutive days.

Doctor's answer:

According to what you described, it is generally absolutely impossible to get pregnant. On the third day after your period, you are in the non-ovulatory period, which is relatively a safe period. Without eggs, it is impossible to get pregnant. However, it is not entirely absolute. In normal individuals, the ovulation period is typically 14 days before the first day of the next menstrual period, with the ovulation day being within the next 14 days. If you have sex within this period, you may get pregnant. Therefore, having sex on the third day after your period is absolutely impossible to get pregnant.
