Am I Pregnant With Cramps After Having Unprotected Sex And Contraceptive Pills?

Hi. I and my boyfriend had sex yesterday without any protection. though as soon as he was about to ejaculate he did it over my back not inside, I was really scared so I took the ECP the same night and since then I have really bad cramps. is that leading me to a pregnancy?

Hello ma'am and welcome.

In mt opinion, the ECP taken within 24 hours of unprotected sexual contact provides you with 98% protection from conception. But it can also result in a few side effects due to the hormones, one of them being cramps. I do not think this is pregnancy, and so you need not be worried. Conduct a home pregnancy test if you experience a delay in your regular period.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
