Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking I-pill?
Brief Answer:
Please wait till 20th December
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I suggest you not to panic as you have still not crossed the expected date of periods.
I pill prevents the pregnancy in 95-98% cases if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
Moreover, I pill delays the next expected periods by2-3 weeks because of its hormonal effect.
I will suggest you to wait till 20 th December.
If they are still delayed, then do get a urine pregnancy test done.
If negative, then you can safely wait for the periods to come.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
