Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Unprotected intercourse always carries a risk of pregnancy.
In your case, it is less likely as the time you had intercourse was not during the fertile period. Also you have followed emergency contraceptive measures by taking birth control pills as instructed.
Kindly wait for 3 weeks from the day of intake of the initial dose of pill for breakthrough bleeding to happen, which ensures your partner is not pregnant. In case this doesn't happen, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
She is having palpitations because of her anxiety. Let her not worry much and wait for her bleeding to happen.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
