Unwanted 72 was taken within 30 minutes of sex. Can she become pregnant?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had an unprotected sex with my partner on the 24th day of her 28-day mensuration cycle. Within 30 minutes, she took an Unwanted 72. She is delayed by eight days and still no period has occurred. She complains of having vaginal dryness and lower abdomen cramps. Please let us know if she is pregnant or not. I am very worried.

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As she has taken an emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of intercourse then there is no chance of pregnancy. The delay could be because of hormonal changes due to the pill you have taken. She will be definitely getting her periods. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me.

Take care.
