Hello

Pregnancy is very unlikely.

• You took emergency contraception within 24 hours → high effectiveness.

• Blood pregnancy test 14 days after sex being negative is reliable.

• Long/irregular cycles and hormone medication can delay bleeding and cause fatigue.

What to do: repeat a home pregnancy test 1 week later only if your period still hasn’t come. If negative again, pregnancy is ruled out.

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

the chance of pregnancy is extremely low. You had unprotected intercourse on February 1, took emergency contraception (Ella) within 24 hours, and then had a blood pregnancy test 14 days later that was negative. Taking emergency contraception quickly is very effective (over 95% when used within 24 hours), and a blood test after two weeks is highly reliable. In addition, starting and completing a hormonal medicine like Cyclo-Progynova can disturb your cycle and cause fatigue, delayed periods, or irregular bleeding, which can mimic pregnancy symptoms. With long cycles (45+ days), delays are even more common due to hormonal fluctuation rather than Pregnancy. In conclusion, pregnancy is very unlikely; your delayed period is most probably due to emergency contraception and hormonal tablets, but if your period does not come after another week, you can repeat a pregnancy test for reassurance and consult your gynecologist.

Negative test results 14 days after unprotected intercourse generally provide a good indication that you are not pregnant, particularly since you took emergency contraception (Ella) shortly after the encounter. However, because your cycles are relatively long, with up to 45 days between periods, it’s slightly more complex to pin down exactly what’s happening hormonally. Emergency contraception is quite effective, reducing the risk of pregnancy significantly, particularly when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. Still, it’s not 100% preventative. Interactions with other hormonal medications like Cyclo-Progynova might also affect your cycle, leading to irregularities or delayed periods, which can understandably be concerning. If you’re feeling unwell or still concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, consider taking another pregnancy test a week after the first one, ideally using a first morning urine sample, which is typically more concentrated and could give more accurate results. If your period doesn’t arrive as expected or if you continue feeling unwell, it would be wise to visit a healthcare provider. They can perform additional tests to check for any other underlying issues that might be affecting your menstrual cycle. Keep in mind that there can be other explanations for feeling ‘bad,’ like stress or hormonal imbalances caused by your medication, which a doctor can help identify and manage.

Hello dear Chances are less due to ocd medication which prevents ovulation chances . As medication was taken within 24 hrs so chances are almost nil However for exact clarification get pregnancy strip blood HCG test done after 10-14 days of ovulation cycle to rule out chances of any Regards
