Question : Hi, I had unprotected sex last month on the 14th day after my period started. I had I pill within one hour of that. Till date I didnot get my periods and when I checked the pregnancy test a very very faint line appeared. Does that mean I am pregnant? Didnt the I pill work? I am married.

Brief Answer:
Was it a single line or two distinct lines?

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
14th day of the period is amongst the most fertile days of the month. I would like you ask you whether your periods are otherwise regular and if so, when were your periods due. About the urine preg colour test, I need to know whether there were two separate lines or was there only one line.
I would await your response and based on that I would try to help you out.
Regards
