Missed Periods. Took I-pill After Unprotected Sex. Chances Of Pregnancy?

Hi, last month I had unprotected sex with my partner, i gave her i-pill within 24 hrs. 5 hrs after she had the i-pill ,again we had unprotected sex. This time also she had an i-pill. After that We continue have protected sex for next 3 days but she was so afraid that she again took one without my knowledge. Her period timing usually 20-25 every month but now she missed her period by more than 10 days. please suggest.

Hello,
Thanks for your query. Stress of becoming pregnant can cause this delay in period. If she has pregnancy symptoms get Urine pregnancy test.
Levonorgestrel Tablets states that the treatment prevents 7 of 8 pregnancies that otherwise would have occurred; that means it reduces your risk of pregnancy by 88%*. And if you take these progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills within the first 24 hours after sex, they reduce your risk of pregnancy by up to 95%.


I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr Arif
