  5. My last period date was 9 April, and my next expected date was 9 May. I had sex on 21 April. Within 18 hours after sex, I took an i-pill. But my periods didn’t come on time and now they are 9 days late. Today in the morning I did a home pregnancy test and it came positive. To confirm, I took another test and that was also positive. Now what should I do?

Two positive home pregnancy tests after a missed period strongly suggest pregnancy, even though you took the i‑pill within 18 hours after sex. The i‑pill reduces the chance of pregnancy but is not 100% effective. Sometimes it can delay periods, but repeated positive results should not be ignored. You should see a gynaecologist soon for confirmation with a blood beta‑hCG test and an ultrasound to check the pregnancy’s location and duration, and to discuss further options safely. Do not take any more emergency pills or medicines on your own. If you develop severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, dizziness, or fainting, seek urgent medical care, as these can rarely indicate an ectopic pregnancy.
