Hi, My girlfriend and I had sex during her fertile days, she took levonorgestrel 0,75mg 17hrs after, and 12hrs later took the second dose, as the prescription says, what are the chances she will be pregnant? and I read that the following 5 to 10 days she may have little blood losses, its that a signal that the pills will have made their work? o its not a rule? Thanks.
Hi, Your girlfriend has taken Levonorgestrel well in stipulated time; hence she is well protected from the pregnancy due to this intercourse. However, please understand that this pill prevents the pregnancy from the unprotected intercourse performed 72 hours prior to the consumption of the pills.  Any intercourse performed after the consumption of the pills is not protected by the previously taken pills. Each intercourse has to be protected by pills taken within 72 hours of the intercourse. Yes, what you have read is right. Few days after the consumption of the pills, some bleeding per magnum may be experienced. Though it happens in most of the cases, some exceptions may be found. It is not an issue of concern and does not need any medical attention. Moreover, I would like to inform you about one more after effect of these pills. The period following the consumption of the pills may get delayed by few days to a week or so. So you may be prepared for it and do not get stress of such delay. I hope this resolves your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
