What Are The Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

I had sex on the day I started ovulating,4 hrs later I took the first tablet and 2hrs later I had sex again but still waited for 12hrs to take the 2nd tablet. In summary, I had sex 2hrs after taking the first tablet but took the 2nd tablet normally. I haven t experienced any withdrawal bleeding in d last 5 days. Could that mean I m pregnant?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Pregnancy chance is nil if you had take emergency contraceptive pill (not clear from your history). Emergency contraceptive pill is very effective in preventing pregnancy by inhibiting implantation if taken with in 24 after sexual intercourse.
As you took after starting ovulation chance of withdrawal bleeding is less as progesterone is start to increase after ovulation. Withdrawal bleeding occur in 50 percent women after taking pill if taken before ovulation.
As you taken pill two times, there is chance of delay in the period by 4-5 days because of increase in progesterone level that increase luteal phase.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
