Hello kmahabir123
Thank you for writing.
It might be a good idea to wait until your breakthrough bleeding occurs (the side effect of emergency contraception) so that you are not concerned about pregnancy.
But if you don't get side effects (usually within a week of taking EC) then it should be fine to start regular birth control.

Thank you, it’s been 5 days that past and I still didn’t experience any bleeding
May 20, 2020 - 7:38amIn the past when I took this pill I used to bleed on the fifth day
Does this mean I’m pregnant and that the pill didn’t work ?

Hello again!
We cannot tell anyone that they are pregnant; nobody can do that over the internet. You will need to take a test. One would be accurate by now.

It’d be accurate even if it’s just a week past since it happened ?

It could be, but if you prefer, wait another week. EC works differently for each individual woman. Use a condom until you are sure.

I’ll wait the week again thank you. Before I started birth control I used to bleed 5 days after taking a prostinor, could it be that since I started birth control and came off of it that it would affect me bleeding after the EC?

Yes, that could be the case!
Test in a week.
Good luck,
