Hi,

According to your history the points to be considered are that
sometimes the pre ejaculate fluid can also contain few spermatozoa and can lead to pregnancy. If you were during your ovulatory period at that time, there is some possibility for pregnancy.

Hence, it is better to go for emergency contraceptive pill. If you take the tablet within 24 hours of the act you can have around 90% protection. With increasing time gap, the success rate will decrease. Better act early.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
