Hello, good afternoon. Me and my bf had sex but he did not ejaculate his sperm inside. I had an ipill after 2 hrs. Unfortunately I have forgotten the date of my periods, whether it was 8th or 18th the last month. I am very very nervous. Please advise.

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

No chances of pregnancy are very less post intake of I pill, especially if taken within 24 hours of having sex. Actually I pill is an emergency contraceptive pill which works by inhibiting implantation of fertilized egg on the uterus. It has high success rate of over 95% if taken within 24 hours of having sex.
As you took the pill 2 hour later of having sex, You should now relax as pregnancy possibility is very less. You might have your next period delayed due to intake of I pill.
Don't take I pill or any morning after pill frequently. These pills are intended to use in case of emergency & have higher side effects than other regular methods of contraception such as regular birth control pill, condom etc.
If your next period is delayed by more than 2 weeks you should undergo a pregnancy test to rule-out pregnancy possibility

Refer to a gynaecologist for more queries
Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps
