Can Pregnancy Happen After Taking I-pill?

Hello Doctors,

Me and my girlfriend had sex on 13 Jan and she took an i-pill after 3-4 hours of it, but now she feels tiredness, hunger, excess sleep, lower back pain, faints, absent mindedness, not feeling comfortable, nausea.... and she haven't had her periods yet. do i have anything to worry about?

Hello,
Thanks for asking at healthcaremagic.
i have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
ipill is an emergency contraceptive pill and it is relatively safe. The side effects are minimal.
I think the symptoms are due to unwanted anxiety and stress.
Keep in mind that ipill is not 100 percentage safe and failures are seen rarely. Do a UPT( urine pregnancy test) to rule out the possibility of pregnancy even though it is rare. Because the symptoms you have mentioned also seen in early pregnancy.
Hope i have answered your query.
thanks.
