Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking 16 Minigynon-30 Pills Within 72 Hours?
Hi I need some advice as to whether or not I am pregnant. My husband and I had unprotected sex. 32 hours later I took minigynon30 as a substitute for ECP. I took 4 pills and took another 4 12 hours later. About 4 hours after taking the pills I threw up. I read that this would not impede with the effectiveness of the pills but to be safe I repeated this method 4 hours later after having something to eat. All 16 pills were consumed within 72 and I read that using this method is effective up to 120hrs after. Three days ago I noticed I was spotting brown and took a pregnancy test which came back positive. The due date of my period is today so I have only missed my period by a day. I did a lot of reading on chemical pregnancies. Could I possibly be pregnant? If I am would the excess amount of pills affect my baby?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, as long as the contraceptive methods are concern nothing is promising and best way to clear the doubt is to get done the sonography test because beside this all the test may give false results, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
