Me and my gf had unprotected sex at her 9th day of cycle. I did not ejaculated inside but we still took plan B within one hours. 5 days later she experience a period-like bleeding that lasted for 3 to 4 days. We took the 4 pregnancy test 14,17,21 and 25 days after the incident and it all turned out negative. Does this mean we are safe?

Hello. Thank you for posting.

Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours, so the risk is very small. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Symptoms usually start 2-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. If a woman doesn't get her period within a week of its expected date, a pregnancy test is recommended. It can cause irregularity in a woman's cycle if used often. It's supposed to be for emergencies, such as contraception failure. If 4 tests have yielded a negative result, she wouldn't be pregnant.
