Can I Get Pregnant Inspite Of Having Unprotected Sex?
Question: Hi ,my last period was on 18 march 2014 , I took Ipill (emergency contraceptive)on 23rd march 2014 and unwanted 72 (emergency contraceptive)on 26th march 2014 . I have still not got my periods . I took a pregnancy home test today, it was negative . why haven't i still not got my periods . also i want to know taking two Contraceptive pills in a short duration , does it affect my cycle (if yes , how much minimum delay is expected).Is there anything i can take to force my periods . Also I am a pcos (pcod) patient ,i would also like to mention on 4th april 2014 i had unprotected encounter(no sexual intercourse took place). this encounter was in a shower when i found out the semens on my upper hip left side and washed it immediately and cleaned the whole portion ,so I am afraid that if it could have seeped in because of flowing water though i was very careful in washing but i think before i found out about the semens on my upper hip left side, some of it might had seeped in the vagina before I realised it and washed it., . it is still possible i might be pregnant (till what date should i keep doing the pregnancy test ) on 4th april 2014 , after the shower encounter , i had protected sex .. also a doctor in healthcaremagic advice me to take norethisterone when can i start the Norethisterone tablet (dose and for how many days) . my period was supposed to come on 14th of april. I have been taking pregnancy test since a week and all my results are coming as negative. also can you elaborate on the safe and fertile days in this case .I have also attached the picture of the medicine (norethisterone) can you please review it and let me know whether i should take this or not and if yes , when can i start it and how much dose is required and for how many days .
Brief Answer:
DETAILS ARE GIVEN BELOW.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments.
1) First 5 days after period are EXTREMELY SAFE and you did completely SAFE sex. Additionally, you took I-pill on 23rd March and Unwanted 72 pill on the 26th march. These will give more than 99% protection against unwanted pregnancy. Here, you have NO chance of pregnancy.
2) Second sexual encounter occurred on 4th April and your fertile days were 29th March to 6th April if your previous cycle was in 28 to 30 days duration. However, you DIDN'T involve in unprotected sex and semen was deposited over your hip during shower. Therefore, possibility of pregnancy is EXTREMELY RARE in this sexual event. You also get repeated NEGATIVE pregnancy test.
3) Double doses emergency pill is the main reason for late period. Most women get delayed period for 1-2 weeks from due date due to hormonal imbalance and mental stress. You should wait few more days to get period naturally.
4) You should repeat home pregnancy test on 21st April to exclude RARE chance. If you find NEGATIVE result again, you can start Norethisterone pill to induce or resume your period.
5) I have reviewed your attached image. YES, you can take PREVENT-N (5 mg) - one tab thrice daily 1/2 hr after meal for 5 days continuously (start from 22nd April). You will get your period within 5 to 7 days of stopping this pill.
Hope, this information is quite helpful to you. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish your good health and practice safe sex in future.
