Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Unprotected sexual encounters can lead to pregnancy and can be prevented by using emergency contraceptive pill (brand name Plan B/One step/Next Choice) which is available over the counter and is to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse. You do not need a doctor's prescription for the same.
It prevents fertilization and thus pregnancy prevention. You can get it from pharmacy and have it earliest, the sooner the better.
After taking the pill, withdrawal bleeding can be expected within a week time, so do not worry.
The next periods may or may not be delayed by a week time.
Hope this answers your query. Please accept the answer in case you do not have follow up query.
Regards!
