Is There Any Chance Of Pregnancy Even After Taking I Pill?
I didn't have intercourse but my bf's pre-ejaculatory fluid did touch the vaginal opening. I tool the i-pill within 2 days. It has been 2 days and I haven't experienced any side-effects (nausea, vomiting etc) so far.
1. Is it essential that the withdrawal bleeding will happen within 5-7 days? If it doesn't happen does it mean the pill did not work?
2. Will a doctor be able to tell the use of the EC pill through a blood test?
3. Most importantly, how likely is it that I could be pregnant?
Also, my hymen hasn't torn yet and I have never had intercourse (as I felt discomfort when he was pressing against me). I had my last period a week before this particular night.

Hi,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. Here are your answers:
1. It is not necessary that withdrawal bleeding should occur always after the use of the emergency contraceptive pill. This does not mean that the pill did not work. 2. Please specify if you are asking about the blood test for pregnancy. Hormone assay can detect the high progesterone levels but detection of the source of origin needs analysis of the hormone compound. 3. Since you did not have a proper intercourse and also since you took the pill within the stipulated time interval, you are well protected.
Hope this helps.
