Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking An Emergency Contraceptive Pill After Intercourse?

Hello, I had sex with my boyfriend 3 weeks ago during the afternoon. The condom broke so we decided that I need an emergency contraceptive. So I took Take Action less than 24 hours later. I didnt really have symptoms except some fatigue. Five days after the contraceptive, I had light spotting, light bleeding and as the days progressed the bleeding got heavier. I bled for a about a week and I had some pain the following week. Lately my stomach has been feeling funny, and I hope it s not pregnancy . Could I be pregnant?

Hello,

I think if you had bleeding after taking emergency pill, there is very less chance of pregnancy. So, don't worry about it. You can wait for your next period which may come 1 month after your last bleeding. If periods get delayed, it can be a side effect of I pill. You can do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy if your next periods get delayed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khushboo Priya
