Question: I had release of sperm around my gf vagina on wednesday so due to fear of preganency she took an unwanted72(emergency pill) within 24hrs and then we had an unprotected intercourse on saturday and immidiately took the pill and had intercourse again the same day and took the pill again in 15hrs. She is in periods cycle bt her bleeding stopped since the day i had dischrge around her vagina and nw she is just witnessing spotting. So i would like to knw what are the chances of she getting pregnent and since she has taken an emergency pill thrice in one week so what are the complications we can expect.
Brief Answer:
Urine pregnancy test 7-9 days post coitus is needed to confirm.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
Normally unwanted pill should not be taken thrice in a week as it will lead to hormonal imbalance and irregular cycles for 3 months.
Chance of pregnancy can be less but should be monitored due to over usage of emergency pill.
Get urine pregnancy test 7-9 days post sex and transvaginal ultrasound abdomen.
Use barrier contraceptives like condoms during sex.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
