After taking the high hormonal emergency pill one gets withdrawal bleeding 5 to 10 days later, and then a new cycle starts.-new counting.
Presence of withdrawal bleeding means no pregnancy by sex prior to it.
If again had sex after withdrawal bleeding pregnancy is possible.
Whenever you are taking any medicine which has been given by your doctor you have to wait and watch for few days and follow the instructions given by the doctor and if there is no improvement after these days then take a follow up.
So kindly take a follow up with your doctor who will tell you whether any change in medicine or any other investigation is needed or not.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Birth control pills don't increase your risk of developing a uti.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.
Emergency contraception, such as the morning-after pill (like plan b or ella), is generally considered safe for breastfeeding mothers. The hormones in these pills (levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate) are not thought to have a significant impact on breast milk production or the health of the breastfeeding infant.
However, it's always advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before taking any medication, especially if you're breastfeeding. They can provide you with the most accurate and appropriate guidance based on your individual circumstances, medical history, and current medications.
Unwanted pregnancy pills, commonly known as emergency contraception or "morning-after pills, are designed to prevent pregnancy if taken shortly after unprotected intercourse. The most common form of emergency contraception is levonorgestrel, also known as the "morning-after pill.
However, it's worth noting that emergency contraception can cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include:
nausea or vomiting: some people may experience mild to moderate nausea or, in rare cases, vomiting after taking the pill. If vomiting occurs within two hours of taking the pill, it's recommended to seek medical advice, as another dose may be needed.
Irregular menstrual bleeding: emergency contraception can cause changes in your menstrual cycle. Your next period may come earlier or later than usual, and the flow may be lighter or heavier than normal.
Breast tenderness: some individuals may experience breast tenderness or swelling as a temporary side effect.
Fatigue or dizziness: you might feel tired or experience dizziness as a result of taking the pill, although these symptoms are generally mild and temporary.
