The emergency contraceptive pill, commonly known as the "morning-after pill" or "i pill, is a form of contraception that can be taken after unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy. The I pill contains levonorgestrel, which is a synthetic hormone that helps prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, fertilization, or implantation of a fertilized egg.
Taking the I pill can have several effects on your menstrual cycle. It is common for the pill to cause changes in your menstrual...more

Before I start, i'd like to say that I would appreciate that my choices made are not shamed. I am simply here to ask for help. I will start by providing basic information about myself and my partner, then I will continue talking about the issue and the actions I have taken to reduce the risk of pregnancy. I'm an 18 year girl, around 60 kgs and 163 cm tall. I take no prior medications. I do no smoke nor do I drink. I do not have a history of medical conditions. My boyfriend is 21, 75 kgs and 186 cm tall. He takes no prior medications. He smokes but does not drink. Me and my boyfriend had sex a few hours back and the condom broke. He ejaculated inside me as a result. As soon as we found out the condom broke I tried cleaning out the semen with tissue and peed. I washed my vagina with water and shoved tissue inside it to clean out any of the remainder seminal fluids. I cleaned myself twice. We live in a country where plan b and the abortion pill aren't available. I do have access to birth control but have not been on it for a while. I took birth control for a week on the 24th of may, and stopped it. A week later after I stopped the pill I got my periods from the 6th to the 9th of june. I've been keeping track of my periods on flo and it predicted that my ovulation cycle lasts from the 10th to the 22nd of june. The app also predicts my day of ovulation to have occurred on the 17th of june. According to what knowledge I have the egg supposedly only lasts for 24 hours. Once again, we had sex on the 23rd of june, which is today. The birth control I have access to is yasmin, 0.03 mg of ethinylestradiol and 3 mg of drospirenone. I have heard that as per the yuzpe method it is recommended to take 0.1 mg-0.12 mg of ethinylestradiol along with 0.5 mg of levonorgestrel. The progestin levonorgestrel is a second generation progestin whereas drospirenone is a fourth generation progestin. I decided to take 4 pills around 3 hours after we had sex. I have heard that I should take another 4 after 72 hours. I would like to know if this would help at all in reducing the chance of pregnancy. It is illegal in my country to have sex outside of marriage so going to the doctor would get us in serious trouble. I plan on waiting a week for my period as I anticipate it in 9 days but hopefully it comes around faster with the pills. If my period doesn't come along i'll take a pregnancy test and find another way to proceed if it turns out positive. I would like to know if there's anything additional I should do in order to reduce my chances of pregnancy. Do I increase the dose of birth control any further? What are the signs and symptoms I should look out for if I am pregnant? Any advice is welcome.

Hi. Yes I understand your problem. You followed everything very well but safety is better than to regret it later. Use ocps along with condom for better contraception as just condoms failure rate is more as you experienced .and wen you use ocps never misss a single dose. U should remember that.
And one more thing please do not follow harsh methods like cleaning with a tissue inside the vagina all that, as that method will not help because there will be millions of sperms in the semen and onl...more

If you take it within 72 hours after you've had unprotected sex, levonorgestrel can reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 89%. If you take Plan B One-Step within 24 hours, it is about 95% effective. But you should know that Plan B One-Step is not as effective as regular contraception.

Hi, i-pill is an emergency pill (as the name suggests) which is supposed to be taken only in case of emergency or once a while because after all it contains hormone levonorgestrel which can delay the menses. I-pill can work in any of the two different ways depending on where you may be in your menstrual cycle. It may stop an egg being released from the ovary. If an egg has been released, i-pill may prevent the sperm from fertilizing it. It is not always 100% effective, so if period delayed by on...more

I pill is only for emergency. It is not regular family planning method. Taking repeatedly may disturb hormonal status. Not to worry, but important to know about different family planning methods and decide one of them as per her-and partner's needs. Best is to meet Gynecologist.

After taking unwanted 72, withdrawal bleeding (similar to a period) usually occurs within 7 to 14 days, but it can vary for different individuals. It is important to note that withdrawal bleeding is not the same as a menstrual period. It is...more
