Does I pill prevent pregnancy?
Patient's Query
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.
