Can you still prevent pregnancy 10 days after having sex if you did not take the I-pill during the first 5 days?

Asked by Male, 20 · 9 days ago

Unfortunately, emergency contraceptive pills, like the I-pill (levonorgestrel), are not effective 10 days after intercourse. They must be taken within 3 to 5 days to work, and other emergency options are also no longer effective at this stage. Please try to stay calm. The best step forward now is to wait for her next expected period. If her period is delayed, or if it has been 14 to 21 days since you had sex, she should take a home pregnancy test for an accurate result.
