What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Having Contraception Pill?
My girl and i had unprotected sex on the morning of the 19th, she took a postinor 1 emergency contraception pill about 36 hours later, her last period was on the 27th...what are the chances of her getting pregnant? And how soon should she expect her period?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.Taking emergency contraceptive pills within 24-26 hours of unprotected intercourse is 95-98% effective in preventing the pregnancy.
The bleeding due to its effect occurs within 5-7 days of its intake.
It has the side effect of delaying the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
