Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy are there.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If you had your last periods on 17th and unprotected sex on 29th, the chances of pregnancy on day 12 are present. The chances of pregnancy are almost 20-25%. You could have taken an emergency pill within 72 hours of unprotected sex to decrease the chances. Injecting laxatives will not help.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

what about age and my medication , wouldn't it effect fertility .... emergency pill is now allowed in my country that's why I couldn't find it not even in hospital
Brief Answer:
Efficacy reduces after 72 hours.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
It is right now too late to take an emergency pill. The efficacy of the pill will be less than 70% if taken after 72 hours. It does not affect the fertility. It can cause some irregular periods for a few days. You can take it along with the medication you are taking. Do get it prescribed from your gynecologist.
Hope my answer is helpful.
