Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
i pill is an emergency contraceptive pill.
What you have done is right by taking the pill next day by 30 hours, as it needs to be taken within 72 hours of having unprotected intercourse, to be protected from becoming pregnant.
The pill should cause withdrawal bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of its intake. Accordingly, your periods may get re-scheduled by certain amount of days. Some of them could experience spotting or discharge before actual bleeding takes place.
In case you do not get periods by 3 weeks, you need to take a urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention with the report promptly.
Such mode of contraception has a failure rate of 10 to 15%.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
