Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Having I Pill Post Unprotected Sex?
Question: I had my menses on 16th april. I had unprotected coitus on 5th n 6th day of my menstrual cycle i.e on 20th n 21st. Took unwanted 72 within 48hrs. Got heavy bleeding from 30th April to 3rd may. Was it menses or withdrawal bleeding? What are the chances of pregnancy? When do I expect my next periods?
Brief Answer:
The chances are very low.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concern here.
The chances of pregnancy are very low as you had I-pill with in time and that was your safe period days.
That was most probably a withdrawal bleeding due to hormonal imbalance ( I- pill contains high doses of hormhormone in it).
You will resume your next period on time or it can be delayed or come early by one to two weeks.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
Regards

I have a 30 days cycle. So my menses are already late . withdrawal bleeding is supposed to be light and within 3 days of taking the pill. Mine was heavy as usual and was after 8 days of taking it. Was it an induced period because of the pill. Should I be counting my menstrual cycle days from the 1st day of my induced period and expect my next period on 30th of this month? Should I go for a pregnancy test? Thanks a lot for the reply.
Brief Answer:
Most probably a withdrawal bleeding or iit can be your early period.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
You are most welcome.
Yes, you are right but it can be both a withdrawal bleeding or induced early menses.
The next period is very unpredictable in case of I-pill, so wait and watch for your 2-3 months cycles.
Yes, you
can go for a home urine pregnancy test as you are missed your period by 7 days.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
