Will I get pregnant as we had unprotected sex and followed the pull-out method?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I fully understand your concern. The withdrawal method is not a very reliable method of birth control, as the precum secreted before ejaculation also has sufficient sperm to cause pregnancy. Also, since it was 12 days past the last period, and if you have a cycle of 26 to 28 days, you may be nearing ovulation, making it near your fertile window. So to prevent any possibility of unplanned pregnancy, you must take an I-pill (Levonorgestrel) or any other emergency contraceptive pill at the earliest.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

For getting pregnant, the sperm have to be released inside the vagina of the female. The sperm then need to fertilize an egg, which may or may not be available depending upon the menstrual and ovulation pattern of the female. If the egg is present and has successfully been fertilized, it needs to be implanted in the wall of the female's uterus. When all this happens successfully, a female has conceived or is pregnant. Now coming to the emergency contraceptive pill, i.e., I-pill (emergency contraceptive pills). These pills are hormone-based and work at three distinct stages after the dose to prevent unplanned pregnancy. Firstly, if taken before releasing an egg, it delays the release of eggs from the ovary. If the egg is already released before the taking of the dose, it prevents its fertilization by sperm after unprotected intercourse by thickening the fluids in the cervix. Further, if the egg was already fertilized before the female takes the dose, the pill prevents implantation of the egg in the uterus by making it unsuitable. So yes, as you can understand, if the dose is taken immediately, it starts from the first stage, i.e., prevents the release of an egg, and if taken late, it also helps in one form or another. I also feel that the pill can be taken if you are healthy and do not suffer from a blood disorder or artery-related disease. It has specific side effects experienced by certain females, like spotting or light bleeding within a week or ten days of taking the dose, and it delays your next menstrual period.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Yes, in your case, it will prevent or delay the release of the egg and will also act to make cervical mucus thick and the uterus lining unsuitable. As far as the dose is concerned, you can consult a local doctor and take it without any complications. Just make sure that you do not have any blood disorder, artery-related problems, or heart disease. I hope this helps.

Thank you.
