What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Taking I-pill?

default
Posted on Thu, 24 Sep 2015
Question: hi there. I had my periods finished on 30th Aug. I had unprotected sex with my bf on 3rd Sep. It wasn't a proper sex as he just pushed his manhood inside and pulled out. He did it few times and after about 1 hour, I have taken two i-pills. I believe it was 4th day after my periods so it was a safe period and as I have taken two pills, the chances of pregnancy should be rare. Please help me in clearing my doubt. I haven't got any vomits after taking the pills but today,after 24 hours, I had fever for which I have tkaen med from my family doctor. Other than that, there is nothing that I ahve felt. Please help as I am

Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy is less likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
The chances of pregnancy are almost nil in your case as these type of sexual activities does not cause pregnancy and you had I- pill on time and you are on safe days.
It is not necessary that everyone has side effects of I-pill,so if you are not having any symptoms that does not mean it is not working.
Fever can be due to other causes and it is a coincidence that it occurs after taking I-pill.
So do not take any stress and wait and watch for your menses.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.

Thanks doctor for the answer.

I have taken two iPills. Is it okay? I understand , in long term, it can have impact on pregnancy but I was terrified and I had taken two pills together. My boy friend is almost sure that he didn't finish inside. But I have taken the pills and no vomits nothing. Since the iPill stays in the body for about 24 hours only I believe, it should have done it's work b now. Also, it was 4thday after my periods finished, so it should be a safe period. Please answer if two iPills taken are fine? I understand there can be irregular periods but my only concern is pregnancy. I must add, after taking the pill, my bf only used his finger and didn't re-insert again. Waiting for the reply.

Brief Answer:
Frequent use is not recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
As we discuss before that the chances of pregnancy are almost nil your case.
As I - pill contain high doses of hormone in it,it may cause hormonal imbalance and frequent use or two pills at a time is not recommended.
It can cause period irregularities.
Fingering can cause pregnancy if it contains sperm on it and sperm impregnated inside the vagina.
As in your case it is not like that,the chances are quite low.
Hope it clear your doubt.
If you have no further questions and wants to close the discussion kindly accept my answer before closing if found useful.
Good luck.

Thanks doctor!

So if I have taken two iPills does that impact the working of the medicine? No, there were no sperms on the fingers as my bf didn't touch his penis. How can I know if the pill worked? Will I get some bleeding in next few days ?

Brief Answer:
No it will not affect the pill effect.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
If you had 2 pills at a time it will not affect its working.
It may cause menstrual irregularities due to hormonal imbalance.
I-pill is working or not it is not detected now.
You have to wait for your period.
Some withdrawal bleeding may occur in 7-10 days but that is only a side effect of I-pill,it is not an indication whether pill is working or not.
As in your case chances of pregnancy are very low please do not take any stress and wait and watch for your menses.

Good luck.

Thanks for the answer.

Does it mean that even if I have taken the pill(two actually), I can't be sure about not being pregnant? What if the menses are going to be delayed?

Brief Answer:
You may not get pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You are most welcome.
We have already discussed that there is almost no chance of pregnancy in your case but yes,nothing is 100%.( only 5% chance).
If period get delayed by 7 days,you have to go for a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy ( though the chances are quite low).

Good luck.
