Did The Next Choice Pill Work?
Hi. The condom my boyfriend was using broke on Tuesday the 13th. I used Next Choice Wednesday morning, and took the second pill exactly 12 hours later. It is now Friday the 16th and I still haven't gotten my withdrawal period. Does this mean the pill didn't work?

Hello,
NEXT CHOICE pill gives more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy with above doses when taking within first 24 hrs.
Most women get their withdrawal bleeding within 3 to 5 days. However, absence of bleeding doesn't mean that pill didn't work. It has same effectiveness as earlier.
You should wait for next coming period and if it is delayed more than 1 week, you must undergo one home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
Good luck.
