I took a pill the next day after sex. Will that be ok?

Asked by Male, 24 · 3 days ago

Taking an I Pill (emergency contraceptive pill containing levonorgestrel) the next day after unprotected sex is generally within the recommended time window. It is considered effective in reducing the risk of pregnancy when taken as soon as possible. However, it is not 100 per cent effective, and its success can depend on factors such as the timing of the menstrual cycle and whether ovulation has already occurred. It may also cause temporary side effects such as changes in the next period, nausea, or spotting. If your period is delayed by more than a week or if you have unusual symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor and take a pregnancy test for confirmation and further guidance.
