Hi,
If the sexual episode occurred within the past 72 hours you may take the emergency contraceptive pill. If more than 72 hours have passed then there is no way to prevent pregnancy. An intrauterine device can be inserted up to 5 days after the unprotected episode to prevent pregnancy but this is suitable when a women has atleast 1-2 children.
So if it is more than 72 hours, just wait for your period. The chances of pregnancy after a single unprotected sexual act are low and they are lower still if the sexual act was outside the fertile period [ day 10-20 of cycle are considered to tbe fertile if cycles are regular]. So do not worry. If periods are delayed get a urine pregnancy test done 7 days after the missed period to rule out pregnancy.
Do not worry, chances after a single act are very low.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
