Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Of Taking Emergency Contraceptive Pill?

Hi, i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend yesterday, and he came inside. I am not taking birth control pills religiously. I took the ECP (Nordette) 2 hours after the deed, but i am still worried that it may not be as effective as i thought it would. I am on the 3rd day of being fertile, and i am going to ovulate in 3 days, too. Please help me.

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. Your chances of conception are higher since you are in the ovulation period. Yet, as you took the emergency pill soon after the intercourse, you receive ample protection, so please do not worry. If you have taken only a single tablet, however, you cannot be protected and you need an emergency pill. These medications can lead to withdrawal bleeding a few days after use and can also delay the next natural period by a week or two. Please get further help from a specialist if you become overdue by ten days. Hope this helps.
