It is highly unlikely your partner will get pregnant. You used protection, and she took the emergency contraceptive (I-pill, containing levonorgestrel), which provides very strong backup protection. Since she took two doses, she might experience temporary side effects like nausea, headache, or changes in her next menstrual cycle (it may be early, late, or spotty). For peace of mind, she can take a home pregnancy test if her period is delayed by more than a week.

Since it has been over 72 hours, the levonorgestrel in the i-pill becomes much less effective. Instead, you can consider ulipristal acetate, another oral medication that remains highly effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after sex and is generally well-tolerated. Alternatively, having a copper intrauterine device (IUD) inserted by a doctor within 5 days is the most effective emergency contraceptive method available. Please consult a healthcare professional as soon as possible..

While emergency contraception can cause temporary changes in your cycle and mild cramping, experiencing continuous lower abdominal pain and heavy bleeding for ten days is not typical. These symptoms require medical attention to rule out complications, such as an ectopic pregnancy or pelvic infection. I recommend contacting your healthcare provider or visiting a clinic soon. They can evaluate your symptoms, ensure your safety, and provide the care you need to feel better.

It is very common for your period to be late after taking the emergency contraceptive pill (like the i-pill). This medication contains hormones that temporarily disrupt your natural cycle, which can delay your period by several days. However, because emergency contraception is not 100% effective, there is still a small chance of pregnancy. To give yourself peace of mind, I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your period is more than a week late. If you have severe lower abdominal pain or need further guidance, please consult a healthcare professional.

Taking an emergency contraceptive pill like the i-pill (which contains levonorgestrel) introduces a high dose of hormones to prevent pregnancy. This temporary hormonal shift frequently alters your menstrual cycle. It is completely normal for your next period to arrive earlier, or to be shorter, lighter, and even pain-free. However, because emergency contraception is not 100% effective, I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your next regular period is delayed by more than a week, or three weeks after the intercourse.

Taking the emergency contraceptive (the I-pill, which is levonorgestrel) within four hours is highly effective, making the likelihood of pregnancy very low. Your delayed period is most likely due to hormonal fluctuations caused by both stopping the period-delaying medication and taking the emergency pill. Both of these disrupt your usual cycle. To give you peace of mind, I recommend taking a simple home pregnancy test if your period is more than a week late.
