Hi Ishika,
Your question is not very clear. You said you had sex with your boy friend in the last three days and took I pill. You also have written that you did pregnancy test and it is positive. Pregnancy does not happen in three days time. Were you sexually active through out this month? If so then there is a possibility of pregnancy.

I pill is very effective in avoiding pregnancy (95%). I pill is washed out from the body in few days time. It can cause temporary irregularity in menstrual cycles. It has no long term adverse effect on menstrual cycles or fertility.

I hope this helps.

hi Ishika if your urine pregnancy test is positive then please get a confirmatory test called serum BHCG.
if urine pregnancy test is positive means you are pregnant.
ipill is not 100% protective.
success depends upon when you had pill.
