Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Oral Contraceptive?
Question: I had sex yesterday, and it's somewhere around my ovulating day. My boyfriend used a condom but we suspected a leak, therefore i decided to have an ipill just within an hour.
Questions i have are -
1. Does i pill work when i am ovulating?
2. What are the chances of getting pregnant?
3. What are the side affects i could face? It's been 12 hours from having the pill and now i'm dealing with some white mucus like discharge. Is it normal?

Brief Answer:
Ipill helps hindrance of fertilazation of ovum.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.
Welcome to the HCM.
Ipill has ingredients in form of hormones which in case an ovulating woman has ovum gets contact with sperm ,hinder fertilization so the chances of pregnancy are less.It works if taken within 72 hrs.
Chances of getting pregnacy with having ipill can not be predicted . Like chances of pregnancy after having sex in ovulating woman can not be predicted.Like wise there are less chances of getting pregnant after having ipill but how much can not be predicted.
Side effects of ipill can be white mucus discharge,headache,abdominal pain and sometimes irregular bleeding also.But it is not necessary every woman gets the side effects.But long time usage can lead to severe menstrual problems or ovarian damage.
Hopefully I answered your question.You may ask further,if I need to clarify more.

Hello
I've been feeling low and bloated lately. My palms are sweaty most of the times since the time i had the pill. People around me feel i'm been aggressive. Are these the side effects of the ipill? Or maybe it's premenstrual? My periods are not due before another 12 days. Is it possible that i may get my periods before time? Do i need to worry about anything else?
