Question : My wife and me had unprotected sex 6 days after her cycle and then she took two i pills over a period of 10 days, both pills taken well inside the first 48 hours after the intercourse. She got some bleeding five days after taking the second pill and that lasted for four days. But since then she has missed her period cycle by 9 days. Is there any chance of she getting pregnant ?
