What is the likelihood of pregnancy after taking emergency contraception two days after unprotected intercourse, followed by light bleeding one week later?

Asked by Female, 22 · 9 days ago

Taking emergency contraception within 48 hours is still highly effective at preventing pregnancy. The light bleeding you experienced about a week later is a very common and expected side effect of the hormones in the medication, rather than a sign of pregnancy. While the likelihood of pregnancy is low, the most reliable way to be absolutely sure is to take a home pregnancy test 21 days after the unprotected intercourse.
