Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Escapelle Pill After Unprotected Intercourse?

I had unprotected sex on 17/3, using the pull out method. However I was told that precum could also cause pregnancy, so I took an escapelle pill within 12-13 hours of unprotected sex. My last period was on 2/3, which means that when I had unprotected sex, it was during/after ovulation. Escapelle s function is to delay ovulation. Was the pill ineffective? Are my chances of getting pregnant high?

Hi, I think it will be still effective because it will prevent fertilisation of sperm and egg if it didn't occur in the early 12 hours after intercourse. So, I think your pregnancy chances are not high. If periods get delayed, do a urine pregnancy test at home. It will clear your doubt.
