Q. I took emergency contraceptive in the morning after sex. Will I get pregnant?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have already had emergency contraceptive pills. So you might have this hormonal pills effects for few weeks as these interfere normal menstrual cycle and prevent fertilization and pregnancy. Mostly after taking pills, there is withdrawal bleeding in 1 to 2 weeks and then there are some irregularities in periods for some time like unscheduled bleeding, spotting or delay in early periods. In this case, for your satisfaction, you can have serum beta hCG (blood pregnancy test) to know your status of pregnancy. But here as you said you took an emergency contraceptive pill (if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex), then less chance of pregnancy.
