Yes, emergency contraceptive pills like the i-pill (which contains levonorgestrel) are highly effective at preventing pregnancy. For the best results, the pill should be taken as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected intercourse. While it can still be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) later, its effectiveness decreases over time. It is generally very safe, though she might experience mild, temporary side effects like nausea or a slightly altered next period. If her period is delayed by more than a week, a simple pregnancy test is recommended.

Since both your urine pregnancy test and pelvic ultrasound are negative, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. The I-pill (levonorgestrel) contains a high dose of hormones that frequently disrupts your menstrual cycle, commonly causing delayed periods. Your body is simply recovering from this temporary hormonal shift. Try to relax, as stress itself can also further delay your cycle. If your period does not arrive within the next week or two, please consult your gynecologist for a routine check-up, but rest assured that your negative tests are very reliable.

Since your pregnancy tests and ultrasound are negative, you are not pregnant. The emergency contraceptive pill (levonorgestrel) you took in November contains a high dose of hormones that can temporarily disrupt your natural menstrual cycle, sometimes causing delays for a few cycles. Stress and anxiety about the delay can also prolong it. Your body just needs a little more time to reset its natural rhythm. If your period doesn't return by next month, please consult your gynecologist for a routine checkup.

A beta hCG level of less than 1.2 mIU/mL one month after taking the emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill) means you are not pregnant. Any value under 5 mIU/mL is considered negative. If you were pregnant at this stage (about four weeks after intercourse), your hCG level would be much higher, typically in the thousands of mIU/mL. You can rest assured that this result is highly conclusive and you are not pregnant.

Emergency contraceptive pills, like levonorgestrel, start working quickly to delay ovulation and are most effective the sooner they are taken. Regarding your cycle, it is very common to experience some light spotting within a week of taking the pill. Your next period might arrive a few days earlier or later than expected, and it may be slightly lighter or heavier than usual. If your period is delayed by more than a week, taking a home pregnancy test can provide peace of mind.

Since the emergency contraceptive (i-pill) did not prevent the pregnancy, as confirmed by the i-can test, the safest next step is to consult a gynecologist. At this very early stage, a medical termination using prescribed medications (typically a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol) is highly effective and safe. However, these medications must only be taken under medical supervision. A doctor will perform a quick ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy's exact timing and location before prescribing the correct dosage.
