If my period started on February 9th and I had unprotected sex on February 17th, am I at risk of getting pregnant, and should I take the i-pill?

Asked by Female, 28 · 9 days ago

Since you had unprotected sex on day 9 of your cycle, there is a moderate risk of pregnancy, as sperm can survive in the body for up to five days close to your fertile window. If you wish to prevent pregnancy, taking an emergency contraceptive pill like the i-pill (levonorgestrel) is highly recommended. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours of intercourse. If your next period is delayed by more than a week, a simple home pregnancy test will help give you peace of mind.
