Is Taking An Emergency Contraceptive Pill 5 Days Post Intercourse Too Late?
Question: i had unprotected sex on 04/05/18 and will take a take action pill on 04/10/2018 is that to late?
Brief Answer:
Should be taken within 72 hrs.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As you took I pill after 72 hours, there is a chance of pregnancy in your case. (It should be taken before 72 hours, as early as within 24 hours for best results).
Delayed menses due to hormonal imbalance caused by I pill. Get your home urine test if you missed your period by 7 days.
Hope you found the answer useful. Feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
