Taken Ipill After Having Partially Protected Sex. How Do I Know It Is Working?

Hi, I had sex with my bf on saturday night (15 june) around 8 pm.I was a virgin and he used condom.
After sex, we found that the condom broke and he did ejaculate. To avoid pregnancy, I took 1 morning after pill on sunday (16 june) around 3 pm afternoon. Till today I have not felt anything to tell me if the pill is working
How will I know that it has worked? what if I dont bleed or get any symptons said as side effects??

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

Please mention the date of your previous period ? Are your menstrual cycles normally regular?

The only way to know if the pill has worked is if you get your periods around the usual time. If you dont get your periods even after 1 week of the expected date of periods, it would be better to get a urine pregnancy test done.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
