If I put on the Polaring disc 9 hours later, am I protected against pregnancy?
I forgot to wear polaring and did it 9 hours later (at 10:00 in the morning instead of 1:00 at night). At about midnight/1:00 a.m., I had sex. In 2 pharmacies pharmacists said that in this case there is no need to take a pill after, but on the Internet I find information that setting up the system with a delay negatively affects its effectiveness and you should use additional protection, which I did not have. Are the pharmacists right, or should I take the pill?

According to the package leaflet, a 9-hour delay in putting on the Polaring disc reduces its effectiveness. A maximum delay of 3 hours in putting on the disc is allowed without affecting the effectiveness of the disc. For the next 7 days, it is recommended to use an additional method of contraception. The relations performed in the week preceding the delay in putting on the puck are also unprotected: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/96196/polaring-przyrzad/apteki It should be considered that the intercourse you had, without additional security, was an improperly secured relationship. In this case, it is possible to use an emergency contraceptive pill. In Poland, there are 2 types of tablets "after": - Escapelle (shows effectiveness up to 72 h): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27577/escapelle-tabletki/apteki - ellaOne (shows effectiveness up to 120 h): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87820/ellaone-tabletki/apteki Due to the fact that in Poland the "after" tablet is issued only on the basis of a valid medical prescription, a gynecological consultation is necessary: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/tabletka-po-czyli-antykoncepcja-awaryjna In order to You can use teleadvice, e.g. through our Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja We wrote more about how to use contraception correctly in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje
