Question: Hi Sir, My friend and his GF had sex on 25th of this month, after her period started on 12th.But she took unwanted 72 within 48 hour of intercourse, even though they have a doubt whether he release inside or not. But m release outside more almost all .now the problem is that her period started,or not even for a day or so. So, we are very much tensed about the possibility of pregnancy. Please help us to solve this issue.
Brief Answer:
irregular cycles
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If the menstrual date was 12th, and the sexual encounter was on 25th, then it was during the fertile period. Pregnancy was a definite possibility.
After taking the emergency pill, withdrawal bleeding should start with a week or two. If there was just spotting for a day, there is still a chance of pregnancy unless there is a normal bleed. Wait a till the next period and watch. If the period is missed, then wait a week and take a test. Right now, nothing else can be done. Emergency contraception can only work once.
