Hi doctor , thanks for the Reply.. I have taken it within the first 24hrs and I am having abdominal/pelvic pain since my intercourse(3 times on the same day). Please do let me know if I have any risks . What might be the reason for my continuing pain (tolerable). I met my husband almost after 4 months and hence I feel the pain is due to after long time intercourse. Do help.

Brief Answer:
Side effect of the pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

Mild pelvic or lower abdominal pain is MOSTLY due to effect of the pill. It is quite common. You may get withdrawal bleeding within 5-7 days.

Some other causes may be vaginal infection, rough sex drive, dry vagina etc. You should contact with local doctor if pain persists for few days.

Take IBUPROFEN as painkiller, easy digestible food, drink more water and maintain genital hygiene properly.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr S Patra

Thanks for the reply. What if I have taken the tablet not within 24hours n can I have morning after pill in the 60th hour??

Answered by Dr. Dr. Soumen Patra (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
You can take in 60th hr but protection rate will be 58%.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for additional query.

You can take morning after pill in 60th hour. However, protection rate will be around 58% during your ovulation time or fertile period.

Basically, emergency pill gives protection more than 95% if taken within first 24 hrs, around 85% within 24-48 hrs and 58% within 48-72 hrs.

Hope, it helps for you. If you have any other query, you can directly ask me.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
