Can a woman get pregnant if she had protected sex on the expected day of the next period and took Unwanted-72 after three days?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is usually seen that if intercourse is undertaken on the day of the expected period, the menstruation tends to get delayed by a few days. But as you have taken an emergency contraceptive pill, a withdrawal should be expected only after 5 to 7 days post-pill intake (if you are not pregnant). However, the best way to rule out pregnancy as of date would be to get a serum beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test. If the hCG levels are less than 5 mIU/mL, you are surely not pregnant.

Thank you.

The chances of getting pregnant are minimal, but it is best to be sure; for that, you can do a blood test.

I suggest you take a beta hCG blood test, which may give you reliable results as you have taken unwanted-72 (Levonorgestrel).

Thank you.

The earliest the test can be done is eight days post-last intercourse. You can wait for another week and allow your menstruation to arrive naturally. Keep in mind that you are for sure not pregnant. So you may review with reports for confirmation.

Thank you.

You can mark the onset of your bleeding as it will be the first day of your fresh cycle, and the next 1 to 2 cycles can be delayed as a known side effect of the emergency contraceptive pill.

This could be the onset of your withdrawal bleeding.

Please allow the flow to increase. The only way to differentiate between implantation bleed and menstruation is to rule out pregnancy.

Thank you.

Withdrawal bleeding usually starts with spotting and the flow increases in the next 2 to 3 days. However, it is difficult to differentiate withdrawal bleeding from implantation bleed in the first two days, and the only difference is a positive pregnancy test. If the pregnancy test is positive, then the bleeding is implantation bleeding. If it is negative, then it is withdrawal bleeding.

Thank you.

Yes, you are right. The chances of getting pregnant are very low.

Thank you.

I suggest you drink plenty of water if you want the flow to be good. You have to be patient else get the beta hCG test done as early as possible.

Thank you.
