Brief Answer:
kindly do a preg test after 10 days if no bleed

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting health care magic.

well , you have had sex in the middle of your cycle when you were in your fertile period. If any precaution had to be taken then it had to be taken earlier or within 72 hours or intercourse. So if your periods dont resume in next 10 days , then get a urine pregnancy test done to rule out pregnancy.

Mostly you would not be pregnant as your bf had used protection in form of condoms and he didnt have any rupture inside vagina, so there was no spill.

Menses tend to be delayed in cases of stress as well, in which you are at present. i would like you to relax and wait for menses. And if not , then do a URINE PREG TEST. there are options to take care of you even if it turns out to be positive in safe manner. so please dont resort to self medication or any other means. Its already late for a decision, so lets just wait and watch. you have to be patient.

Brief Answer:
no 15 day med, emergency pill not valid..explained

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the follow up.

In neither case, urine pregnancy test has to be done first. If it is negative then you can be simply given a withdrawal bleed with progesterone and you would resume your menses.

And in case you turn out to be positive then you have to be safely placed under medical method of abortion with misoprostol and mifepristone under a supervision of your gynecologist. If these meds are taken without confirmation then it can cause disturbances in your future cycles.

So my advise would be to stay calm , i understand that you are not married and dont want pregnancy. Unfortunately whoever gave you this info of 15 days medicine , gave you half information about the facts of emergency contraception. once you have already crossed 15 days post intercourse emergency contraception is no more effective in form of ipill, instead its always safer to wait .

Brief Answer:
gynecologist from hospital/clinic to supervise

Detailed Answer:
thanks for the follow up.

It cannot be online supervision as these medicines may cause excessive bleeding sometimes and there are possibilities that sometimes it may continue inspite of med as well . so its always better to confide with a gynecologist in a clinic who is professionally bound to keep your privacy and would be able to help you in a much safer way in prescription and conduct as well.

please follow the advises and trust me you would be safe.
