I took Emkit (emergency contraceptive pill) Levonorgestrel 0.75mg 48 hours after unprotected sex however i took 1 tablet after 48 hours and I was supposed to take the 2nd dose 12 hours later but I took it 48 hours later. Will it still be effective? Or is there a chance I could be pregnant? I took a pregnancy test aswell came out negative twice
Hello...thanks for trusting the Chat Doctor doctors for your health related queries.first I want to tell you that pregnancy can happen after taking emergency contraceptive pill, if it's taken by wrong method. Usually emergency contraceptive pill levonorgestrel 0.75 is taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex and 2nd tab will take after 12 hours of 1st tab, in this method it is more effective. But u had taken 2nd dose after 48 hours of the first tab, but your pregnancy test comes negative twice, it indicates that you are not pregnant, so don't worry. Relax.with the above discussion u can try out my suggestions-1. Wait for the menses to come. If it came then nothing to worry.2. If menses not came then visit nearby gynecologist. He /she can help you. Good luck. Regards- Chat Doctor.
