Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Emergency contraceptive pills are quite effective in preventing pregnancy though not cent percent.
Whether the period was safe or no depends on which phase of menstrual cycle your wife is. It would be helpful if you could get back to me with her expected date of cycle and when did she have her past cycle . Are her cycles regular and of how many days.
Awaiting your response
Take care

Dear sir,
Previously the phase happened for her starting 17th july. It is now expected to occur near 15th august. They are normal for her and continues usually for maximum 6 days. And also previously they did got delay 2-3 days. I also want to ask if the particular M-pill works before the intercourse as well. If yes, then till how many days it is in work and can prevent the ovulation? And from where i sit, i do know that i did not ejacuated inside her, however i am afraid of the small quanitites that MIGHT have gone inside her before the final climax of me. Please clarifiy my doubts for above.
Awaiting your best reply.

Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy are less
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
From the description given following are the inference
1. You had sex on 18th of her cycle . It is considered as unsafe period
2. As you are not aware whether the Semen did enter her vagina. The chances are high that it did enter
3. Emergency contraceptive pill was taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex:It is quite effective in preventing pregnancy
Even though you had sex in the unsafe period , emergency contraceptive pill was taken within 72 hours which is quite acceptable to prevent pregnancy. This pill is effective only after unprotected sex. It is not effective if taken before.
I would suggest you to start on oral contraceptive pills from the next cycle , this will be a good family planning option.
Wishing you great health
Take care

Dear sir,
Thank you for your reply and time.
I am only doubtful for the last intercourse that happened after taking the pill, though it was done with the protection which was put on after 2 min of intercourse started. I would like to ask this from you. As, it is still not 72 hours after we had our last intercourse (4th august) which was after taking the M-pill (3rd august). Do you suggest to take the M-pill again? If, it doesn't have any side effects. And i am pretty sure that it was not ejacuated inside her. A very very small negligible trace(drop), is what i am not sure of. Will that make any difference? I mean to ask, isn't there any required quantity to develop a a baby?
