When can I have unprotected sex and not need an I-pill? What are the chances that I'll get pregnant?
Brief Answer:
No period is considered safe period.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
No period is considered 100% safe for unprotected sex but you should always use precaution during your most fertile period.
That is considered 5-7 days before and 1-2 days after ovulation.
Because ovulation is unpredictable so the safe period calculation is also very difficult.
However the days before menses can be considered quite safe.
The chances of pregnancy is only 28% in each normal cycle. You can lower the chance through contraception methods.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.

Thank you. I'm having one last question. Is it necessary that after taking an I-pill there will be bleeding within 5-7 days? And is the bleeding the normal menstruation cycle? Can I get pregnant if I had sex in this time? Please answer to all of my questions.
Brief Answer:
Yes, you can get pregnant.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You are most welcome.
It is not necessary that everyone have this withdrawal bleeding.
It is not menstruation, it is called withdrawal bleeding a side effect of I-pill.
Yes, you may get pregnant during this period.
I-PILL cannot protect from pregnancy when sex occurs after intake of I-pill.
Hope I have answered all your questions and if you want to close the discussion kindly accept my answers before closing it( if found useful).
Thanks.
Good luck.

Hello again , there is one small question again. What if after taking an I-pill I had sex on the 5th or 6th day and got the withdrawal bleeding the same day or the next day , are there chances of getting pregnant then also? I don't think withdrawal bleeding releases any egg for fertilisation?
Brief Answer:
Yes,the chances are very low.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for the long delay in my response.
Yes, you are right , the chances of pregnancy are very low in this situation because there is no endometrium for implantation of ovum.
Hope it is useful .
Good luck.

Thank you so much Doctor ! I can have unprotected sex during this time then? And is the I-pill harmful for a girl of my age? The last time I had taken the pill was 2 months ago or more. Is there any harm? I heard that it damages the ovarian tube.
Brief Answer:
Yes, I-pill is considered safe for 25-35 yrs.age women.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
You are most welcome.
Yes, you can do unprotected sex during this period but I would not suggest it for you because you may get other infection also during unprotected sex, so better go for protected sex always.
I-pill is not recommended at your age, it is useful between 25-35 yrs.of age.
So better you should not go for it.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Yes,it may cause.

Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
