doctor could you be absolutely sure about she not being pregnant? i too believed so after much reading of articles online but just freaked out after reading people say that fertlization could take place even a day after intercourse and ECP's are no use after the egg and sperm have fertilized.. also i would like to know how does the pill affect the cycle and what could she do to make her period arrive faster?
Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is a very remote possibility.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Dry humping that too during less fertile period of the cycle followed by an emergency contraceptive almost rules out the pregnancy. The pill provides 96% protection if taken within 24 hours of sex. The pill causes a delay in cycle by 7 to 10 days if taken in the second half of the cycle. It is best to wait for the periods. Do not take any more hormonal pills to bring the periods faster.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
