General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Post coital pills are highly effective, nearly 95 to 96 %. If she had not her period and her pregnancy test had come to be positive you may be in that 4% individual.
I advice you not to take any medication without consulting doctor, as all medications are external substances and they have their own side effects.

Medical methods for first trimester abortion have been demonstrated to be both safe and effective. This includes the use of hormonal agents. This are prescription based agents, hence I can not suggest you here without the examination.

Hence I advice you to see OBG specialist for examination and for further help.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful
