I understand your concern, and it’s good that you’re seeking advice quickly. Since it has been 10 days since the unprotected intercourse, emergency contraception options like the morning-after pill may no longer be effective. However, there is still something you can do.
Next Steps
You can consult a gynecologist immediately and discuss options like a copper IUD, which can be effective in preventing pregnancy up to 10 days after unprotected intercourse. It’s crucial to act quickly since timing is important.
If it’s already past the window for emergency prevention, you’ll need to wait until the next menstrual period to confirm whether pregnancy has occurred. If there’s a delay or concern, a
pregnancy test can be taken around the time the period is expected or after a missed period.
Health Tips
I know this can feel overwhelming, but a gynecologist will guide you through the best next steps. You’re not alone, and help is available. Don’t hesitate to seek medical advice right away.
