What Could Cause Symptoms Like Headache, Nausea, And Cramps After Taking The Protective Pill?

Hi, my boyfriend and I had sex on the 17th during the late afternoon, he was unsure if he came in me as there isnt any protective measures taken, so I headed to get a morning after pill on the 18th and I took it during the early afternoon, but after 4 days I am having a headache, nausea, and cramps, may I know the chances of me getting pregnant and how do I know if the prostinor worked?

Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Postinor 2 : If taken within 24 hours, 95% chance of preventing pregnancy & within 72 hours, 58% chance of preventing  & after 72hrs, results are not sure. Also now your are experiencing symptoms of post pill intake.
I advice you to,
- do serum beta HCG test which is more reliable than HPT, if you didn't get your periods after 3weeks of taking the pill.
- Consult your gynaecologist for further assistance.

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

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
