Advice regarding possible pregnancy risk
Hello Doctor,
I need your advice regarding a possible pregnancy risk. I had unprotected sexual contact with my partner while we were cuddling. We're unsure whether any semen may have come into contact with or entered my vaginal opening.
I have PCOD, although my menstrual cycles are currently regular.
Could you please advise whether I should take an emergency contraceptive pill in this situation? If yes, which option would be most appropriate and safe considering my PCOD? Also, is there a specific time frame within which I should take it?
Thank you.

Emergency contraception works best the sooner it's taken after unprotected contact, so please don't delay getting it from a pharmacist or doctor.
Next Steps
Ask the pharmacist which option suits you given your PCOD, and take it as soon as possible today.
Health Tips
If your next period is delayed or unusually light, take a home pregnancy test to confirm.
