Hello and welcome, I am happy to help you today.

In reality, the traditional type of tablet works for up to 72 hours (three days) after sex – not just the morning after. And the newer version, should work for up to FIVE days after intercourse.So, your symptoms are more likely to be due to be due to the pill taking action rather than pregnancy.

Some unwanted effects are:

  • nausea
  • mild menstrual irregularity – so your next period may be slightly early or late
  • low abdominal pain
  • headches
  • vomiting.

I just read that the pill is only in your system for a day or 2. Is that correct? My boyfriend said he didn't cum in me or anything so I shouldn't be worried but I am very worried that the pill isn't going to work. When is it ok for me to take a pregnancy test?

Expert:  Dr. R. Bora replied 12 months ago.

The pill is there in your system for upto 2 days and it should be taken within 3 days of having intercourse.

You can get a home pregnancy test done one week after the proposed date of menstruation.

You should not be worried whatsoever as you have already taken the pill and it is almost always effective.

I see that you have given me a negative rating. So, you are likely to have more questions on this issue.
What are your questions?

Customer: replied 12 months ago.

What are the first signs that I should look for if I'm pregnant? How serious is a pregnancy out of the uterus?

Expert:  Dr. R. Bora replied 12 months ago.

Before you miss your period, some of the very early signs are:

Breast tenderness and enlargement of the breast and nipple.
Nausea and vomiting
Fatigue and exhaustion
Sometimes constipation
Raised body temperature is sometimes seen and you may feel more hot than usual.

Pregnancy of the uterus is not serious an can be easily terminated by taking pills once pregnancy is detected or medically using instruments known as "D and E".
