Is there still a chance of pregnancy if my wife took the emergency contraceptive I Pill within 24 hours of sex and then had a heavy, five-day bleed that started three days earlier than her expected period?

Asked by Female, 21 · 2 days ago

Emergency contraception is highly effective when taken within 24 hours. The heavy, five-day bleed she experienced starting three days early is a very strong sign that the medication worked and she is not pregnant. This type of bleeding is a common side effect of the pill as it alters her hormone levels. While the chance of pregnancy is extremely low, if she wants absolute peace of mind, she can take a home pregnancy test three weeks after the intercourse.
