It is very common to experience changes in your menstrual cycle after taking emergency contraception. The hormones in these medications often cause irregular bleeding, spotting, or dark brown discharge instead of your usual period. Since you used protection and took the emergency contraception the very next day, the risk of pregnancy is very low. However, to give you complete peace of mind, I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test. Since it has been over three weeks since intercourse, a test now will be highly accurate. Please consult a doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain.

While mild headaches can sometimes occur after taking emergency contraceptive pills like the I-Pill (levonorgestrel), a severe headache that worsens daily is not a typical side effect. Please rest assured, but it is very important that your partner seeks medical attention promptly to evaluate this. A healthcare professional can identify the exact cause and recommend safe treatment. In the meantime, ensure she stays well-hydrated, rests in a quiet, dark room, and avoids taking strong pain medications until a doctor has assessed her.

It is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. Fingering does not cause pregnancy unless wet, fresh semen was directly introduced into the vagina. Furthermore, you took the i-pill (levonorgestrel) well within the effective timeframe. The most common reason your period is a week late is the i-pill itself; emergency contraception delivers a dose of hormones that frequently alters your menstrual cycle. Stress and anxiety about pregnancy can also delay your period. Try to take a deep breath and relax. If your period is delayed by more than two weeks, taking a home pregnancy test can help provide final reassurance.

It is highly likely that the nausea you are experiencing is a common side effect of the emergency contraceptive pill (such as the i-pill, which contains levonorgestrel). These pills contain a high dose of hormones that frequently cause mild stomach upset or nausea for a few days after taking them. Two days is far too early for pregnancy symptoms to appear, as those typically take at least two weeks to develop. If your nausea persists beyond a few days, or if your next period is delayed by more than a week, taking a simple home pregnancy test then will help give you peace of mind.

It is advisable for your girlfriend to take one i-Pill (Levonorgestrel) as soon as possible, ideally within 12-24 hours and no later than 72 hours after the condom tore, even if ejaculation did not occur or she did not feel wetness inside. Taking it promptly reduces the risk of pregnancy, as pre-ejaculatory fluid can still cause fertilisation. She can wait for her period and monitor for any changes, but taking the i-Pill is safer.

It is very common to experience a delayed period after taking the i-pill (emergency contraception), especially since you recently used menstrual-delaying medications. Both of these treatments introduce hormones that can temporarily disrupt your natural cycle, making a delay quite normal. While the i-pill is highly effective at reducing the probability of pregnancy, it is not 100% guaranteed. Other factors like stress can also delay your period. To give you peace of mind, I recommend taking a simple home pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than a week.
