There is a chance of pregnancy if intercourse occurred, even if you are unsure about its completion, and taking the i-Pill Emergency Contraceptive Pill (Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg) within 72 hours can help reduce this risk.
🩺 Understanding Your Situation
- Pregnancy risk exists if sperm has entered the vagina, regardless of certainty about intercourse completion.
- Emergency contraception is most effective when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 12 hours, but up to 72 hours after unprotected sex.
💊 About i-Pill Emergency Contraceptive Pill
- Contains Levonorgestrel, which can prevent ovulation or fertilization and alter the uterine lining to reduce pregnancy chances.
- It does not terminate an existing pregnancy and is not effective if you are already pregnant.
- Take the pill with food; if vomiting occurs within 3 hours, consult a doctor as effectiveness may be reduced.
🏥 Next Steps
- Take the i-Pill promptly if you decide to use it for emergency contraception.
- Monitor for side effects like nausea, headache, or abdominal pain; these usually resolve on their own.
- Consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and to discuss ongoing contraception options.
