Unprotected sex?

I have had unprotected sex just after my period ended. But I took an ipill within 3 hours. 6 days after taking ipill I started bleeding. He didn't penetrate or ejaculate. Is there any chance to get pregnant, could you please tell me I'm worried about it?

Medications: Ipill

There is always a chance you could have gotten pregnant, but in your case, it is very low. First, if you have regular periods (about every 28 days), you will ovulate about 14 days after the start of your period (which is also about 14 days from the start of your next period). So the timing of the sex is unlikely to be when you could get pregnant. Second, taking the I-pill will add extra protection from getting pregnant, so that further decreases the chance you would be pregnant. Third, the bleeding after taking the hormone in the I-pill is fairly common, so that shouldn't be an issue, other than being annoying, but may throw off your cycle, so your next period may be heavier or lighter than usual and the timing may be off as well. Fourth, if he didn't penetrate or ejaculate, it shouldn't be possible for you to get pregnant, though some sperm can leak out early and it is amazing how far they can swim at times , so I won't tell it's completely impossible (but that story is for another time). However, and I know it's none of my business and I'm not sure I can even get an answer on this site, if he didn't penetrate or ejaculate, other than presumably being naked, what was the sex that you had? Anyway, I think the chance of you being pregnant is way less than 1 percent. But, take a test if your period is more than a week late. And consider using birth control so you don't have to worry about as much in the future. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
If there is any question or thought of pregnancy, do a home pregnancy test. The rescue form of contraception brought your period on early like it was intended.
