Hi doctor,My periods started 14 days before and I had sex eight days back. Should I take pills after unsafe sex? If yes, what is the procedure to take I-pill?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. According to your cycle, it is the seventh day of your menstrual cycle and considered to be safe. If you have a regular 28 day cycle, then ovulation is less likely on day seven. But, if your cycles are irregular then it is difficult to predict the exact day of ovulation as to when the chance of conception will be there. So, to be on safer side, you should take a pill today only. It is known as morning-after pill or pill 72 (Levonorgestrel 150 mcg) to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex only once. Yes, you can get a with ChatDoctor.  In case 72 hours have crossed after sexual intercourse, then also you can prevent pregnancy in this cycle by getting a copper-T (intrauterine device) inserted and that too within five days of unprotected sex.
