Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
First of all do not panic.
Injection Petogen, is injectable contraceptive containing Medroxy progesterone hormone 150 mg. It work for 3 months and it's action starts within 24 to 72 hours after injection.
So even if you have unprotected sex activity after 3 days of injection you need not worry about the pregnancy.
In case of any doubt blood beta HCG test can be done 20 days after the first unprotected sex activity.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
