I took Escapelle after 4 hours from the moment when the condom slipped off during intercourse. Intercourse took place on the 7th day of the cycle. How is the effectiveness of the tablet evaluated in my case?

A sufficiently fast "after pill" (in the case of Escapelle within 72 hours) is an effective method of contraception in emergency situations, but it is not a 100% sure method. The proportion of pregnancies despite the use of emergency contraception is approximately 2% (2 out of 100 women become pregnant). However, it should be taken into account that the probability of pregnancy is influenced by various factors, such as: the time that has passed since the relationship to taking the pill, the phase of the woman's cycle in which the intercourse occurred, the age of the partners and their overall fertility. For this reason, it is impossible to unequivocally answer the question of what is the risk of pregnancy in an individual case. Confirmation of the absence of pregnancy can be a pregnancy test performed after approx. 14 days after intercourse: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97388/domowe-laboratorium-pink-test-ciazowy-strumieniowy-super-czuly-test/apteki More information: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/tabletka-po https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/tabletka-po-czyli-antykoncepcja-awaryjna
