Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
We had intercourse on the third week of the last month, and the condom broke. She took the morning-after pill within 12 hours. Subsequently, she experienced bleeding in the next week for 3 days with some clots on the last day. Her previous menstrual period occurred on the first week of last month. We are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, especially given that a urine pregnancy test returned a negative result. Should we still be concerned about the chance of pregnancy? Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Considering a typical menstrual cycle of 28 to 30 days, your intercourse occurred on the 11th day of her cycle. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for 3 to 5 days, increasing the likelihood of pregnancy. While emergency contraceptive pills usually prevent ovulation, they have a failure rate of 2-9%.
To have a more accurate assessment of the situation, I recommend getting a blood test for pregnancy. This will provide a more definitive answer regarding the possibility of pregnancy.
Thank you.
