Hello dear See ejaculation has occured so chances of pregnancy could be there. You have already taken ocd one month earlier Ideally this medication can be taken after 1 week considering safety, I still suggest you to please consult gynacolologist in person for better clarification And take medication only after recommendation from concerned physician Regards
Hello Darsh, thank you for sharing your concern, I understand that this might be worrisome. Here is my advise for you -
According to what you mentioned, there are less chances for you to get pregnant.
If you have taken the emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of sexual intercourse, no need to take it again, if you haven’t taken still there’s is no benefit in taking the pill.
As there’s nothing we can do much at this moment, it will be better to wait for your periods. If you don’t get your period on the expected date, then do a Urine Pregnancy Test at home. It’ll clear everything for you.
Feel free to reach out again.

1. Since you had sex on the 4th day after periods, the chances of pregnancy are quite low because this is usually the safe period in most cycles.
2. Even though some semen touched outside, the pull-out method is not fully reliable, but risk remains low in your situation.
3. You already took an emergency contraceptive pill on 8th September and then got your periods on 16th September, which means you were not pregnant from that episode.
4. Emergency pills should not be taken frequently as they can disturb your cycle and cause hormonal imbalance.
5. For this present episode, since it was again just a small drop outside and within the safe window, the need for a pill is very minimal.
6. If your periods get delayed by more than a week, you can do a home urine pregnancy test to be sure.
7. For future, it is better to use regular contraception like condoms or birth control pills to avoid repeated stress.
