Emergency Pills & Unprotected Sex

[Kikilulu]

Hey~

My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex one day after my period. I have immediately eaten Postinor2 (emergency pills- like half an hour after) and followed up with another tablet 12 hours later. My cycle is usually around 26-27 days and it was on the 7th day of my cycle that this has happened. What would be the chances of me getting pregnant? I am a bit stressed out with this as I am not ready at all to have a baby yet,

Your advice is much appreciated!

Thank you!

Thank you for your comment.

I took the pills half an hour after I had sex and followed up by another tablet after 12 hours. I really hope I would be ok.

And Yes, I'll definitely not do it again. One time lesson is more than enough.

Thanks! X

Depends on whether you were ovulating around that time.  Women vary on when they do, so telling us the number of days won't help much as everyone is different.  My physio teacher said they're finding more and more than women ovulate around 7 days ON AVERAGE into their cycle (Just to be clear, I'm going by the technical definition of day 1 being the first day of your period.) rather than 10 days.  This DOES NOT mean you did because, again, this count is an average, meaning it's taken from a collection of numbers and divided.

That being said, there is also too little information in that we have no idea when you took the Postinor 2 in comparison to when you had sex.  If you took it within the time frame required (72 hrs, the earlier the better), then you should be ok.

Please try not to stress about it as that can delay your period when it comes time.  Also, please be sure to use protection the future regardless where you are in your cycle if you are not ready for a child.
