Does I pill prevent pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I was involved in protected intercourse with my partner, and the condom tore apart inside me, my periods were supposed to start yesterday. Is there a chance of me getting pregnant or should I consume I pill? Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.I would like to know if you have history of unprotected sexual intercourse during this cycle other than the incident mentioned by you? If yes I would suggest you to follow the below mentioned instructions.

Get a blood beta hcg (Human chorionic gonadotropin) test to check for pregnancy. If no, then you are less likely to become pregnant near your periods. I-pill may not be helpful at this moment.
Use copper intra uterine contraceptive device within five days of accident if history of other episode of unprotected sexual intercourse.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them and take the medication with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
