Brief Answer:
Almost nil chance

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I pill prevents the pregnancy in 98% cases, if you have taken it each time within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
The withdrawal bleeding after taking i pill is not very heavy.
Chances of pregnancy are very rare in your case.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Now one last question doctor i have had 10 to 12 ipills in a month would it have dangerous side effects !!and i have been feeling very moody since i have taken ipills would the high dosage lead to any problem ?and if i had ipill today and within 24 hours qgain had intercourse would i have to take ipill again ?

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Side effect of i pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I pill contains levonorgestrel which causes bloating, and mood swings.
Moreover, it is not good to take I pill multiple times in a month.
You should rather take continuous oral contraceptive pills as contraceptive which will not disturb your periods and chances of failure are extremely low.
