please reply as soon as you can. i wil be very grateful if you reply quicly. i really need advise
Answer -
If your last period started on August 25, you probably ovulated on September 7 and could have conceived if you had sex on September 6,7,8, or 9. You did the correct thing by taking the "morning after" emergency contraception. However, all you had to do was take two pills immediately and two pills 12 hours later. You did not need to take any more pills. If you get your period in two weeks, don't worry. If you do not get your period in two weeks, take a pregnancy test and you will know for sure.
AnswerEmergency contraception must be taken within 72 hours of the sexual intercourse. You apparently did take the morning after pills within the 72 hours period. As I said before, see if you get your period at the end of the month. If not, take a pregnancy test and you will know for sure.
