What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy If Half Of An Ipill Is Taken After Having Unprotected Sex?

Hi Sir,
I am married and I had unprotected sex a week before. We are still not ready for child. I had my periods on 30th of last month. I took Ipill not a complete one but half of it. Are there any chances of me getting pregnant. I am really afraid as I did not take one complete Ipill also.

Hello and welcome,

I completely understand your situation.

Unfortunately half the I pill may not provide complete protection. Just check which day of the cycle it was. Days 10-20 are fertile [counting from day 1 of periods]. Rest of the days are not likely to be fertile so chances of getting pregnant are less if sexual contact occurs on other days.

If it was on fertile days, the only option now is to wait for your periods. If they come, you are safe, if they are missed get a pregnancy test done after 7-10 days to rule out pregnancy.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
