Hello,

There are two possibilities here:

1) The pregnancy test may have given a false positive. You should get it repeated on early morning urine sample and take it from there.

2) All contraceptives including Next choice can fail. In case of Next choice used as emergency contraception the failure rate is reported in 5 out of 100 women taking it within 24 hours of having unprotected sex.

If the window period between having sex and the pill is more, it can increase up to pregnancy happening in 10 to 11 out of 100 women taking it so.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sabina Hussain
