Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My partner took the I-pill within two hours of unprotected sex. Is there any more risk? And also her periods are due at this point of time. So, will she have her periods this month?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you have taken the emergency pill within 72 hours of intercourse, there is no chance of pregnancy. So relax and do not worry. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me. Take care.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I just wanted to know that her periods is due right now. And she took the pill yesterday. So when will she have her periods?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

She should be getting her periods by a week or 10 days. You can expect a bit delay in her periods. It is just because of hormonal changes due to the pill you have taken. There is nothing to worry about. However, if you have a doubt, then get back to me. Take care.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
