Brief Answer:
The unprotected sex REFFERED in query had risk of conception.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have read & understood your health concern.
I pill has high hormone content which interferes normal menstrual cycle to post pone ovulation for 8-10 days.The hormone is removed from system within 8 days of intake of pill(withdrawal bleeding) after this the menstrual cycle resumes ...(.ovulation is postponed by 8-10 days&remains unprotected for contraception.)
In this state withdrawal bleeding can occur 8-10 days of taking pill & is unprotected after 5 days of post ipill .sex ... &does not have family planning protection by I pill . So it certainly has risk of pregnancy.
Pregnancy needs to be excluded by pregnancy test can not after 2 weeks of sex by hcg blood test..& managed with expert gynecologist's help.
I think that helps you. Any more information you need ,please do not hesitate to ask. ..I would readily help.
In case you don't have any follow up query, please grade the answer before you close the query.
Thanks.

Can i take another dose of i pill

Answered by Dr. Vasudha (4 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Frequent ipill intake is not advisable .

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thanks for the follow up query... as I had already explained, there is possibility of pregnancy after your unprotected sex following withdrawal bleeding of i pill.
It is not advisiable to take emmergency contraceptive pill (ipill) frequently.. in order to avoid hormonal imbalance & disturbed menstrual cycle.
So in case you want to avoid pregnancy ... you should confirm/exclude pregnancy after 2 weeks of sex by blood HCG pregnancy test OR by home pregnancy test after 3 weeks of sex.
In case test turns + ve...You can use medical termination of pregnancy kit under guidance of a gynecologist till 7 weeks of pregnancy.OR.. by regular surgical pregnancy termination before it gets more than 12 weeks of pregnancy OR with intrauterine installation of Emcridil , to bring about labour pains &fetal termination till it gets 16 weeks of pregnancy(again under care of a gynecologist)
I hope that answers your query. Any follow up query you still have... you are welcome to ask.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Answer in detail below.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thanks for the follow up query.
Yes. I had already read & have again gone through the information given under 'the medicines tried,before answering the question. ..
Though it was 6th day of periods when the sex was performed, & it was not possibly an ovulation time... the 'ipill' was taken & it has interfered in the process of menstrual hormonal activities & so ovulation was to be postponed-
Now in case you had taken the pill on the same day of sex ( 6th ) ... the process of ovulation was disturbed a bit earlier stage & it would resume the course after the i pill left your body ( indicated by withdrawal bleeding )... that means from 6th day onward & ovulation is possible from 10th to 16th day of original menstrual cycle. Now in such condition, sex on 5th day of cycle would be chronologically 11th day of cycle & pregnancy is possible if you have short cycles of (25-27 days ...as ovum is viable till 2-3 days after ovulation & conception is possible till that time )
I feel now you got the point in testing for pregnancy in case you get period delayed by 15 days ( including 5 days delay due to ipill )by blood test Or after 21 days delay in periods ( including delay due to ipill )
You can calculate according to your menstrual pattern ( if it's up to 26 to 28 days cycle... you can have pregnancy ) & there was no chance of pregnancy if the ,menstrual cycle is above 29 days )
I feel that clears your doubt ... if you still need some information...please feel free to ask.
Thanks.
