Asked for female, 18 years old from Bareilly

I'm a girl, I recently got intimate with my partner and instantly took an emergency contraceptive pill but just later he ejaculated inside me (about 15 minutes after taking pill). My last period was on 21st june 2023 unprotected intercourse took place 3rd july 2023 and same day I took the pill I want to ask can I still get pregnant? I don't want to get pregnant by any chance, how can I be sure to avoid this pregnancy? Can anyone please please help me also please do tell what immediate steps can I take if my emergency pill fails?

Asked for female, 18 years old from Bareilly

Will emergency contraceptive pill (levonorgestrel 1.5 mg)work if taken under 24 hours of intercourse even during peak ovulation period or if ovulation has already occurred? If not how can its effect be increased?

Efficacy of emergency contraception is about 70% if taken within 72 hours of intercourse. So it will prevent pregnancy in 7/10 cases and there is no way to increase it efficacy further. Itâs better to use condoms or regular ocp pills if you want better chances of preventing pregnancy.

It might be withdrawl bleeding ,but better go for blood beta hcg to rule out any chances of pregnancy.

Asked for female, 31 years old from Bangalore

I am 30 year old and married, not pregnant, not have baby. I diagnosed with pcos/pcod around 10-12 years back. I was treated with contraceptive pills like krimson 35/ diane 35 at regular time intervals as and when required. Lately doctor prescribed me the medication obimet to lose some weight. With all this medication my weight was normal before. From last 8-9 months I have stopped medication and my periods gets normal automatically. It's been now 8-9 months still it is regular but I have gained my weight by 5 kgs, so now I am 66 kgs and my height is 5.5 ft along with that I am facing severe hair fall from top and sides. I can't understand what is the problem and why am I facing it. I have done my blood test and everything is normal except vitamin d3. It was low. I have taken medication for 3 months now. Is it because of hormones or anything else? Can I start contraceptive and metformin again?

If you still have pcos, hormonal imbalance can cause insulin resistance and androgen excess which can cause these symptoms in pcos patients. If you are not planning a pregnancy, you can restart ocp pills and metformin. Or you can consult your doctor for other non- hormonal options that are now available for pcos.

No chances of getting pregnancy at all as you did intercourse on 6 th day of mc which is fully safe day if mc is of 28-30 days. Withdrawal bleeding is not compulsory.
