Is There Any Chance Of Pregnancy Even After Taking Unwanted 72?
by mistake i dropped some drops of sperms on my partner's vagina. i was in undergarmnets, whereas she was without clothes. Though she has taken Unwanted 72 within 20 hours, is there still a risk of getting pregnant? how would she be confirmed after consuming the pill that she won't get pregnant .We never had sex.

Hi,
When did your partnerhave her last mensus. The first seven days and the last seven days of menstrual cycle are considered safe. If you have had sex during this period you need not worry.
If you have sex on days other than safe period then there is possibility of pregnancy.Even one sperm is enough to cause pregnancy. So it is good that she took unwanted 72. Unwanted 72 is very effective in preventing pregnancy. If taken within 24 hrs of unprotected sex it is 95% effective.
So there is a small possibility of method failure resulting in pregnancy. If her period is delayed for more than a week from her due date she must do pregnancy test.
To avoid such unnecessary stress I advise your partner to consult her doctor and start regular contraception like hormonal contraception or intrauterine devise as they are very effective in preventing pregnancy.
I also advise you to use barrier method of contraception like condom to protect yourself from STDs.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. If you have any further queries do contact me through healthcare magic
