Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Oral Contraceptive?

default
Posted on Thu, 5 Nov 2015
Question: Dear doctor, i had unprotected sex on 6th Sep and took unwanted 72 within 3 hrs and got normal period-like bleeding for seven days, starting on the 10th of Sep. However, I still have not got my period this month till now. Just a bit of spotting for two days a couple of days ago. Is there any chance of pregnancy in my case? Or is there any other cause for not getting my menses yet? Please help!

Brief Answer:
No chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Since you had a proper period of 7 days chances of pregnancy are negligible but still to be on safer side do a urine pregnancy test and see the result.
This delay is most likely due to the unwanted 72 intake which is known to cause irregular periods for a couple of months.
All the best.
Regards
Dr Manisha
