Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking A Morning After Pill?
Hi so I m in a bit of a situation, I ve recently met a new partner and I m not on any contraception, so I ve been using the morning after pill. The last time I had my period was just over 4 weeks ago in which I took the morning after pill while I was on my period but it stopped it and it came back really light a few days later and went away again within two or three days. So 10 days later I needed to take morning after pill again so I did, but then stupidly had unprotected sex a few days later again, I have not taken any more morning after pills and I also havnt yet got a period except for spotting last week, what should I do or do you think I could actually be pregnant?

Hello dear , thank you for using hcm. I read your query and i understand Your concern. Morning after pill is highly effective if taken correctly 72 hours after . Dont take more than a pill in a cycle. You better use a monthly contraception. Take a test if past three weeks after taking the pill. Hope i was helpful. best regards
