Hello, I have a question. I had intercourse on the first day of the withdrawal bleeding break (Saturday) I got bleeding on the 3rd day (Tuesday) Does bleeding 100% exclude pregnancy and I can stop completely taking ginoring discs, or do I have to protect myself for another month because some sperm could survive in the vagina. Best regards

1) Does bleeding 100% rule out pregnancy and can I stop taking Ginoring discs completely? Very rarely, but there are bleeding during menstruation (or withdrawal bleeding) also during pregnancy. Sometimes they are shorter and scanty, and sometimes they are no different from menstruation. Admittedly, when you regularly use hormonal contraception, such as Ginoring, you are protected against pregnancy. 2) Do I have to protect myself for another month because some sperm may have survived in the vagina? In the acidic environment of the vagina, sperm is able to survive from 2-3 days, some sources say that in rare cases this time is extended to 5 days. If you want to give up the albums, just do not put on a new one. In this case, the seven-day break after removing the disc will already be the time when you will not be protected against pregnancy. If you have questions about your pregnancy, I encourage you to consult your doctor or take a pregnancy test for relevant information and advice.
