Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Unwanted 72 After Intercourse?
i had sex with my boyfriend on 9th day of my periods. The Condom broke down and then i took one pill of unwanted 72 within 15 hours.Is there any need to take another pill? Is there any chance of pregnancy? Little thick white discharge is also coming out of vagina.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is very rare for this type of contraception to fail. You need to take this drug within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It will prevent pregnancy in more than 90% of the cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Abed Tahrawi
