Hi doctor, I had a baby seven weeks ago. I was ovulating. I had unprotected sex and took MAP pill 52 hours after. We tried the pull out method, but are worried about precum. Symptoms are like last pregnancy. Could MAP pill fail? Am I pregnant?
Hi. MAP (morning-after pill) pill works well if taken before 72 hours from unprotected sex. But it will protect against only once such act. It does not offer any ongoing protection. In your case, it should work well up to 99%. The symptoms you have described are due to the hormone progesterone. This can happen just before periods, it can also happen in early pregnancy. Please do a urine test for pregnancy, a week after the missed period, if you do not get your periods on time. MAP pill itself can delay your period. Hope this helps, take care. Please do not hesitate to ask further queries to an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
