Primolut N (norethisterone) works by maintaining hormone levels, and your withdrawal bleed typically begins 2 to 7 days after you finish the course, not while taking it. Additionally, taking the i-pill (emergency contraception) introduces high hormone levels that can temporarily disrupt your cycle and cause delays. Since your pregnancy test is negative, you can feel reassured. Please complete your Primolut N course as prescribed by your doctor, and expect your bleeding a few days after the last tablet. If it does not start within a week after finishing the medication, please consult your healthcare provider.

I took the emergency contraceptive I pill, my period is now a month late, and blood tests show a very low pregnancy hormone (hCG) level of 6?24 after I got mixed results on Prega News tests; given this and my severe vomiting, should I take the abortion pill MT200, and if so, what is the correct way to take it and what are its side effects?

Please do not take the MT200 kit without seeing a doctor first. An hCG level of 6?24 is very low for a period that is a month late. This could indicate a very early pregnancy, a resolving miscarriage, or an ectopic pregnancy. Because you are also experiencing severe vomiting, self-medicating with medical abortion pills without a confirming ultrasound is unsafe. Please consult a gynecologist immediately. They will perform a scan to ensure your safety and provide the correct treatment. If prescribed, these medications can cause heavy bleeding, severe cramping, and nausea, which must be monitored by a doctor.

What is the probability of pregnancy if an emergency contraceptive pill is taken after unprotected intercourse occurs during the estimated fertile window (specifically, days 14 and 15 of the menstrual cycle)?

Taking emergency contraception, such as levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate, significantly reduces your risk of pregnancy, even during your fertile window. While days 14 and 15 carry a higher natural risk of conception, these medications are highly effective when taken as soon as possible. Depending on which pill you take and how quickly you take it, the remaining risk of pregnancy is generally quite low, around 1% to 3%. If your next period is delayed by more than a week, a simple home pregnancy test can provide peace of mind.

What is the likelihood of pregnancy following non-penetrative sexual contact involving pre-ejaculatory fluid on the vulva on day 14 of the menstrual cycle, if emergency contraception was taken within 19 hours?

The likelihood of pregnancy in this situation is extremely low. For pregnancy to occur, sperm must enter the vaginal canal. Since there was no penetration and the contact was external, the risk was already very minimal. Taking emergency contraception (such as levonorgestrel) within 19 hours is highly effective and further reduces any remaining risk to almost zero, even around day 14 of your cycle. If your next period is delayed by more than a week, perform a simple home pregnancy test.

Does taking emergency contraception in the morning protect against pregnancy if unprotected sex occurs later that same night?

To answer your question directly: no, emergency contraception taken in the morning does not reliably protect you from pregnancy if you have unprotected sex later that night. These medications, such as levonorgestrel, work primarily by delaying ovulation to prevent pregnancy from past intercourse; they do not provide ongoing protection. Since you had unprotected sex afterward, you may still be at risk. I highly recommend speaking with a healthcare provider or pharmacist as soon as possible to discuss whether you need another dose or a different option.

What is the probability of pregnancy, and what other factors might cause a delayed period, after taking emergency contraception (i-pill) following unprotected intercourse in a patient who recently used menstrual-delaying medications?

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.

Is there still a chance of pregnancy if my girlfriend took the i-pill within 12 hours of unprotected sex and got her period 15 days later, which was 10 days earlier than her expected date?

It is very reassuring that your girlfriend took the i-pill (levonorgestrel) within 12 hours, as rapid use makes it highly effective. The bleeding she experienced 15 days later, even though it was 10 days early, is a common side effect of the hormone in the emergency contraceptive. This bleeding strongly indicates she is not pregnant. To give you both complete peace of mind, she can take a home pregnancy test 21 days after the unprotected sex for a definitive result.
