Brief Answer: Chances of pregnancy are practically NIL Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for your query. 1. Pregnancy occurs ONLY WHEN the male sperm fertilizes with the female egg (present in the uterus). 2. Female egg- produced by the ovaries- is released only ONCE in a month, during ovulation and it then travels to the uterus, where it remains alive for only about 24 hours. 3. In a female with regular cycles (28/5), ovulation takes place around 14 days from DAY 1 of the previous period. 4. You had unprotected sex on Day 8 from the previous period, when there was NO EGG in the uterus. Hence, chances of pregnancy were nil. Yet you took Unwanted 72, which is highly effective in preventing pregnancy. In reality, you did NOT require Unwanted 72. 5. Unwanted 72 contains very high doses of female hormones, which prevent pregnancy by grossly altering female hormonal balance. This results in periods prematurely. Hence, THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT : CHANCES OF YOUR BEING PREGNANT ARE PRACTICALLY NIL. SO, JUST RELAX. Take due precautions in future, instead of throwing off your hormonal levels off rails! Hope I have addressed to your concerns to your complete satisfaction and you find my response helpful and informative. I will be happy to answer further queries, if any. Take care, Col (Dr.) Rakesh Karanwal
