My wife stopped taking her birth control pills and Deviry on May 1st due to bleeding, missed her expected period on April 27th, and took an emergency contraceptive (i-pill) on May 12th; when can she safely start taking Femilon, is it safe to have sex before then, and is there still a risk of her getting pregnant?

Yes, there is still a risk of pregnancy, especially since her cycle is currently irregular. Before starting Femilon (desogestrel/ethinylestradiol), your wife should take a pregnancy test 14 to 21 days after taking the i-pill (levonorgestrel) to ensure she isn't pregnant. Once pregnancy is ruled out, she can safely start Femilon, ideally on the first day of her next period. Please use barrier methods like condoms if you have sex before she starts the pills, and for the first seven days of taking Femilon, to stay fully protected.
