Question : I got my period on the 12th of April. I had unprotected sex on the 5th day of my period which was the 16th. We weren't sure and to be safe I had a pill on the 18th of April which was within 72 hours. On the 3rd of May I started bleeding , which was not as heavy as my regular period but lasted 4-5 days. I had regular period symptoms like cramps and back pain.
I wasn't sure if that was withdrawal bleeding or my period that came in early. It's the 20th , but I haven't got my period as yet, assuming that was withdrawal bleeding.
Are there chances of being pregnant

Brief Answer:
Nil chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Unprotected intercourse on day 5 will generally not lead to pregnancy, as it is not considered as fertile period.
Moreover, intake of I pill within72 hours of unprotected intercourse prevents the pregnancy in 98-99% cases.
I pill also delays the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks.
I suggest you not to worry, and wait for the periods for another 10 days.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
