Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking I Pill After Intercourse?

default
Posted on Wed, 18 Feb 2015
Question: Hi Doctor,

I had sex with my partner on 11th January in the afternoon.We used a condom and my partner is not sure whether he has ejaculated inside me.The same night and the following morning I was feeling a bit nauseous so I took a iPill 18 hours after sex.It has been 8 days since I took the pill.But still there is no sign of withdrawal bleeding.Is there any chance of pregnancy ? I am a bit worried.

Brief Answer:
Dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing..

I understand your concern..

It is not necessary that all people should get withdrawal bleeding after taking i pill.. I pill reduces the chance of pregnancy by 89% if taken within 72 hrs.. So dont worry..

I would like to know on which day of the cycle you were in or whether you were on your fertile period while having sex?

If you dont get your periods on time, then get a pregnancy test.. Otherwise right now no need to worry..

Hope i have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. good day..

I had my last periods on 26th December and we had sex on 11th January.So I was actually fertile at that time.That is the reason we took double protection.

Hello Doctor,

I finally had my periods on 24th January.It lasted for 4 days like my normal periods.Though I didnt experience any withdrawal bleeding. So is there any more reason to be concerned about or can I be totally relaxed now?
