Question : I and my wife had a sex on 3 April. She took I-pill within 24 hours of the act. Now from last three to four days she is suffering from vaginal bleeding. Is there any chance of she getting pregnant ? I am very much worried kindly help.
Brief Answer:
When was her last period ?
Detailed Answer:
Hello
THanks for writing to us with your health concern.
It is common for most women to have withdrawal bleeding after taking the I pill.
The I pill can also prepone or postpone her period by a few days, that is normal.
Can you tell me when was her last period ?
Relax, there is not much chance of pregnancy, since the I pill is more than 95 % effective in preventing pregnancy when taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex.
Please let me know when was her last menstrual period.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

After the periods till how many days unprotested sex is safe ?
Brief Answer:
Explained.
Detailed Answer:
Basically this method of ' safe period ' is not very reliable.
However, if she has regular 28 day cycles, ovulation will occur on day 14 as a rule.
It is best to avoid sex from day 10 to day 20 of the menstrual cycle, counting day 1 as the first day of bleeding.
It is best to rely on a contraceptive, as other methods have high failure rate, including the I pill.
