Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had nonpenetrative sex with my partner. He did not ejaculate, but a kind of sticky lube came from his penis which he wiped with his hand and then rubbed his hand in the bedsheet. After that, he used his hand in my private areas. I am afraid that I might get pregnant. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There is a possibility that you may get pregnant with pre-ejaculate fluid itself if you were in a fertile period, as precum also contains sperms. It is better advised, that you should opt for an emergency contraceptive pill like an i-pill within next 72 hours to avoid the chances for unplanned pregnancy.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply. I am a PCOS patient taking Met-Innovfol. If I take an emergency contraceptive pill, will there be any side effects?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
After taking an emergency contraceptive pill, the most common side effects are nausea and headache. Once the bleeding starts in next 5-7 days, the day 1 of bleeding would be the start of a fresh cycle. Often the next menses shall be delayed by a week to 10 days.
