Hi guys sorry I am new here,
So my wife is a virgin and we had non penetrative sex and some sperm was left on her vagina and we got worried that she could get pregnant then she took emergency contraceptive (levonorgestrel) 48 hours after. Then after 2 days we did non penetrative sex again and we got worried about pregnancy and she took emergency contraception again. This is emergency contraceptive twice in a week.
Yesterday night (11h ago), the condom that me and my boyfriend were using malfunctioned and he ejaculated inside of me. We went to the farmacy and bought Norlevo morning after pill (1.5mg levonorgestrel). I took it right away (~2h after the intercourse).
Today I was googling about the subject and found out that there is another type of pill that has an higher success rate (EllaONe - 30mg ulipristal acetate). Can I still take this one? Will it reduce my chances of getting pregnant?
Thank you!
Also, I took a pill after maybe around 14 hours after? I took the Levonorgestrel 3x/day and I am on my 3rd day taking it so I already consumed 9 tabs.
Can I still get pregnant? I am so anxious and paranoid because I am still in the university and just about to reach my dreams. I am also too young to conceived and I was raised in a society which pre-marital sex is not honored. I am so shameful about myself to be honest.
Since this original post we have visited a doctor and my wife has taken the ECP levonorgestrel. She took the first pill ~32hrs after the event and a second pill about 12hrs later as per doctor's instruction.
We were unable to visit a doctor prior to this late hour due to the holiday season (Chinese New Year) over here resulting in clinics being closed. Unfortunately ECPs are not available as an over the counter drug at pharmacies.
The morning after pill can screw up your cycle and cause bleeding. If it is severe or lasts longer than a regular period, or you're getting severe pain, call up your doctor to ask about it. It's most likely a side effect. The first bit was brown because it started coming out a while ago, but hadn't made it outside of you, so it had time to rust.
My girlfriend and i had unprotected sex and we bought this pills Levonorgestrel Tablets 0.75mg. She took one pill about an hour after intercourse but she did not take the second one. On the paper it said one pill should be taken 12 hours after taking the first one. Now i am worried can the one pill work?
m only 15, the last time I had my period I used a after day pill after having unprotected sex. My period came on March 9, 2011. A couple weeks after my period I had unprotected sex. Right after we finished having unprotected sex, my partner had came. He said he didn't came inside of me but I was still worried because the withdrawal method doesn't work all the time. Then around March 25 I started to get really bad stomach aches. I continued to have them.

I feared precum contact on the 5th of March, as a result I consumed a 1.5mg levonorgestrel ecp after 24hrs. Started bleeding with slight cramps on the 13th day (7days after pill consumption) which lasted for about a week. Started bleeding with period cramps on the 26th of march (my normal period time). This was lighter than my usual periods, in the sense that it lasted for only 4 days instead of the usual 5-7 days.
she took an I-pill which is an emergency contraceptive pill containing 1.5mg of Levonorgestrel. her last period was on the 11th of october and the one before that was on the 9th of september. but she experienced some midcycle breakthrough bleeding this month on the 30th. she is also experiencing sore breasts. what does this mean in the context of pregnancy and its chances and also in the context of side effects on her body.
is everything ok?
The next day I went to a chemist and got the emergency contraceptive (morning after pill); a 1.5mg levonorgestrel which I took around 15 hours after having sex. My period was due yesterday (Thursday) and the pharmacist said because I was long past ovulation it was unlikely to be pregnant but to take it anyway to be sure. It's Friday now and I haven't gotten my period but I'm also on antibiotics and painkillers for tonsillitis so could this affect my period?
I've been prescribed a course of Rigevidon and when I searched information about this pill, I was alarmed because there is a petition to say this pill should be withdrawn.
People as young as 23 have died and had stroke. While I understand that there is always a risk of DVT, depression or stroke when taking contraceptive pills, I was thinking, there are other brand of pills which contains more or less the same hormones ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. So should I be concerned?
I was recommended microgynon 30 which contains ethinylestradiol 30 mcg / levonorgestrel 150 mcg. I took the pill on the first day of my period at 10pm
That evening I lost the pill pack and as microgynon 30 wasn't available at the GP's office, I was instead put on Gedarel 30/150 which contains ethinylestradiol 30 mcg / desogestrel 150 mcg.
pill (that contains 50 microg of ethinyl estradiol and .5 mg of Levonorgestrel) roughly 24 hours after the intercourse and another 24 hours later 12 hours third one and fourth one 24 hours after that. it's been a week now and she hasn't had her period yet, but she's experiencing lower abdominal pain and tiredness (which are said to be the symptoms of the pills) what are her chances of being pregnant?
Administration of most combination oral contraceptives (OCs) begins on the first Sunday after or on which bleeding has started. If you have not started menstruating, 3 weeks post partum would be when you would have most likely been told to restart your BCP.
Tony is correct, if you are in fact breastfeeding you should discuss with your OB/GYN a progestin only pill ( a good example would be NORA-BE TABLET) . If not here are some low dose pills to consider.
