Hello Doctor,
Hello Doctor,
My last menstrual period started on 29 June and my bleeding almost ended on 3 July. I had unprotected sexual intercourse on 5 July. I am worried about the possibility of pregnancy and would like to know if I should take an emergency contraceptive pill such as Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg (i-pill/Unwanted 72).
Could you please advise me whether it is appropriate for me to take it now, and if so, which one would be best? Also, please let me know if I need to take a pregnancy test later and when I should do it.

Levonorgestrel 1.5mg pill is effective only if it is taken within 72 hours of intercourse. Can you tell me in how many days you ll be getting your period. And consult for further options
