Taken Postpone 72 Pill After Unprotected Sex. Is This Proper And Safe To Avoid Pregnancy? Any Side Effects?

Hi,

I had intercourse with my wife without a condom and I remember i ejaculated outside each time we has sex, however, since I did not want to take any risk, I had her have an Postpone-72 within 72 hours. I have 3 questions:

1) Is that pill proper for this issue?

2) If my sperm has not entered inside, is it still ok for her to have the pill (just for the sake of safety) ?

3) What kind of side effects she might get after taking this pill and what are the possible steps to be taken to avoid these side effects?

hi..
you have tken emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse..
it is ok for preventing unwanted pregnancy.. but it is not good for regular use, instead you can use other contraceptive methods..
these are hormones, which causes nausea vommitting, mood swings, weight gain, heavy bleeding later on..
all the very best..
