Brief Answer:
Pregnancy unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Ms. XXXXXXX

Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

Ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next menstrual period. This is the fertile phase when conception occurs. If you have 28-30 day cycles, your ovulation period would fall around 15th May, the day you had the intercourse.

Yet, your chances of conception are very less since you had the emergency contraceptive soon after the act. This ensures 98-99% protection in most cases.

You may see some withdrawal bleeding in a couple of days due to the high hormone content in the pill. Your next natural period may get delayed by a week or two. Please see a specialist for further help if you become overdue by ten days.

Hope your query has been answered. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.

hello doc ...this is a general question. .how do we actually calculate safe period. ..
doctor
Answered by Dr. Shanti Vennam (4 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Calculated based on the menstrual cycle.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

Safe period or non-ovulatory period is calculated based on the menstrual cycle. In an ordinary 28-30 day cycle, it is the week before and the week after the onset of the period. For cycles of longer duration, the safe period is prolonged in the early part of the cycle but remains the same in the latter part. This is because ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period and this is the unsafe period.

Hope I have clarified your query. Please get back if you need any more help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
