Worried About Pregnancy After Precaution? Get Expert Guidance

Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I had unprotected intimate rubbing with no penetration or ejaculation on the 12th day after my period. To be cautious about precum, I took Unwanted 72 after 10 hours. It's been 4 days, and I haven't experienced any bleeding. I'm nervous. Could I be pregnant?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

If you took a Plan B pill (Unwanted 72) within that timeframe, it works by delaying or pushing forward ovulation. Depending on your cycle, you may have been ovulating or about to ovulate when the pill was taken. It’s normal for your period to shift after taking emergency contraception, so your bleeding may occur later than usual.

 

Thanks
