I would like to share my experience with everyone who are going through the same thing and are worried. Please read it, even though its long.
I had a protected sex with my boyfriend on the 10th day of my period but due to the condom slip up,we decided to take an emergency contraceptive (I pill). I took it in 3 hrs of the incident. 4 days after taking the pill I started to bleed like a normal period for 3-4 days. But I had just had my period 14 days ago and there was still about 2 weeks for my next period. My expected period was not arriving and I was stressed. But fortunately I got it today,8 days later than the expected one.
1. So girls don't worry if you have taken the contraceptive within 72 hrs as directed. But the sooner the more effective it is. If your periods are delayed then its most likely because of the pills,so don't stress over it. Stress can delay your period.
2. Emergency contraceptives are for emergencies,not for every time you have an unprotected sex. Its a bad idea. Better use protection while having sex because its a no guarantee that you won't get pregnant after taking the contraceptives. You might run out of your luck if you keep on having unprotected sex and pop in a pill afterwards. Its not a wise thing to do.
3. Emergency contraceptives are of high dose of hormones and is dangerous if taken frequently. It should never be taken more than 2 times a year. As it contains a large dose of hormones, it can mess up your system badly. Its only for emergencies, don't use it as a means of birth control. It really can affect your fertility. So be safe than sorry.
I hope you all take it positively because a moment of mistake can ruin your life.
