Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My age is 23 years and on the seventh day of my period. I had intercourse for the first time at 11 AM. Then, I had a sudden bleeding spot starting and I took I-pill at 6 PM. I have started nausea, feeling like vomiting, and next morning chills with fever, and weakness. So., I am worried about pregnancy. Any chance there is pregnancy?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you said it is your first time having intercourse, you observed bleeding and then after an emergency pill, you had vomiting and then fever and chill. After the first time of penetrative vaginal sex, there Is hymen rupture that causes bleeding after sex. That could be a bit different in amount from person to person. After first sex, you may have some symptoms. Those can be exaggerated by hormonal emergency pills and differ from person to person. As you have taken I-pill already if it is taken in the right dosage, then least chances of pregnancy actually. Pregnancy is expected more likely in the fertile period with unprotected sex than in the rest of the cycle. And after I-pill, it is least likely.
