Is There A Chance Of Pregnancy When Ipill Is Taken After 72 Hours ?

I took an Ipill after 72 hours. I would say it was at the 73rd /74th hour of having unprotected sex. Is there a high chance of getting pregnant? If yes, then is there any way to find out if I am already? My periods are due for 11th july. And If i am then is there a way to abort it other than abortion?

hI. taking i-pill after 72hours may not work well. It is recommended to be taken within 72 hrs. and I tell you earlier the better. But there is still a chance of protection, if you get Cu-T inserted within 5 days of unprotected intercourse then also it will work. So, go ahead.
To know if you are pregnant or not before you miss your period is to get blood test for HCG levels after 3rd week of your LMP.
If you still be positive for pregnancy, then you can take pills for medical termination under the supervision of a dr.
Thanks.
