Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Unwanted-72?

Posted on Mon, 2 Nov 2015

Question: Hi i had sex on 10th Oct with my gf at 10am. She was on her 3rd day of period and she usually dont bleed during 3rd day. While sex, 1 condom was used which was having sperm at the outer part. She bleeded a bit during sex. As we are not sure, so she took unwanted 72 after 8 hours. So now what are the chances of getting pregnant? And her future periods? And the steps with which she can avoid pregnancy

Brief Answer:
no she is safe.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
There are no chances of pregnancy at all as she was in her safe period when ovulation would occur only by day 14-16 and in absence of ovulation there are no chances of pregnancy . Moreover she has even taken emergency protection with ipill, so hence further no chances of pregnancy. She may experience a withdrawal bleed in next 5-7 days but it is likely to be spotting or scanty bleed. Once bleeding is initiated, it further confirms that she is not pregnant conclusively.

ONE ipill is more than enough and she need not take another. jUST WAIT FOR the withdrawal bleeding to start within a week now and avoid sex hence till bleeding is initiated.
