Hello......
Thanks for your query. If it is more than 72 hours after last intercourse, no medication/emergency contraceptive is available. However, if it is more than 4 -5 weeks after last intercourse you can do urine pregnancy test for your partner. If in between you have no option but to wait. The only thing that can be done is to do an uterine ultrasound for your partner if she is in this in between period. Hope you are clear now. Do clarify anything further you may want to.

Hello
I understand your concern for your partner. You can in this case consider emergency contraception pill like I pill that contains high dosage of norgesterol hormone. Only a single tablet needs to be taken within 72 hours of the sexual act. side effects can include nausea delayed menses in the next cycle and abdominal discomfort. I would suggest you to consider condoms or regular low dosage contraception pills as measures for contraception from now on.

Hello........
Do not panic. Yes emergency pills can be taken within 72 hours only. I suggest you go for urine pregnancy test or ultrasound after 45 days. If positive, termination of pregnancy is possible easily at that point of time. The chances of becoming pregnant depends on whether the intercourse was during ovulation time. It is unlikely that she started developing body pain due to pregnancy within 3 days of conceiving. You can go for regular oral contraceptive pills from now on. There is no recommended intervention at this stage.
