Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had unprotected sex with my fiance. However, I was close to my periods and he had not ejaculated inside me. But, to stay on the safer side, I had taken I-pill after 24 hours. Will I get pregnant?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If you have taken I-pill within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, then you are likely to remain safe. The success rate of the I-pill is 99.5 % if taken within 24 hours. So, you should expect a withdrawal bleed within the next five to seven days and once the bleeding starts that shall indirectly confirm that you are not pregnant. You are required to be patient now and wait for your menstrual withdrawal. As you are already in the last week of your cycle, the chances of pregnancy are low and to add you have further covered it up with an I-pill. So, your chances of conception are negligible.
