Is there a risk of pregnancy if unprotected intercourse occurs immediately before the onset of a menstrual period, and an emergency contraceptive pill is taken the following morning?

Asked by Female, 29 · 13 days ago

The risk of pregnancy in this scenario is extremely low. Having intercourse right before your period starts means you are likely outside of your fertile window, as ovulation has already occurred. Furthermore, taking emergency contraception, such as levonorgestrel, the very next morning is highly effective and further reduces any minimal risk. Since you took the medication promptly, you did exactly the right thing. Please note that emergency contraception can sometimes delay your period by a few days, which is completely normal.
