Brief Answer:
Please elaborate.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

I would like to know if you are suspecting a leakage of semen and also if normal menstruation has returned after the delivery.

If you suspect leakage of semen and a risk of pregnancy and hence would like to use emergency contraception, you can go ahead, but, please remember that it is better to go for the insertion of an IUD if you are lactating than use the emergency pill. This should be done under medical surveillance.

Hope you find this information useful. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications.I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.

Brief Answer:
Levonorgestrel pill is sufficient.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

If you do not have any problems with hormones, levonorgestrel pills like I-pill or Plan B can be used.This should be used within 72 hours.
XXXXXXX is a non-hormonal pill which can be used within 120 hours. It can be used if you cannot use other methods.

Hope this helps. Please do not get scared. You are safe.

regards,
Shanti.V.
