My husband and I had unprotected sex on 30th July and took an ipill. After that, we had unprotected sex a couple more times. My period was due on 17th August, but I started feeling dizziness, so I did a home pregnancy test, which showed one dark line and one faint pink line. Does this indicate that I might be pregnant, or could it be a hormonal imbalance due to the i pill? We are not prepared for pregnancy, so I need guidance on what to do next.

A faint second pink line along with a dark control line on your home pregnancy test usually indicates a positive result, even if it is light. Emergency pills like iPill can cause hormonal changes and delay periods, but they are not 100 percent effective. Since your period is due and you are getting a faint positive, repeat a urine pregnancy test after 2 to 3 days for confirmation, or consider a serum beta hCG test for a clear result. Consult your doctor to discuss further options based on the result.

View allI had anal sex for the first time with my partner, and since we were inexperienced, the condom tore. We were worried about the possibility of sperm reaching the vaginal area. This happened two days after my period ended (on Monday), and I took Unwanted 72 within two hours. Now, after seven days (on Sunday), I experienced some light bleeding. I am considering visiting a doctor for a checkup. Will the doctor be able to find out if I took the pill through any test for irregular bleeding? Can I be assured that there is no chance of pregnancy?

Hi Doctor, I have irregular periods, so it is difficult to calculate my menstrual dates. I had intercourse on 21st, and my last menstrual period was on 19th. When should I take a pregnancy urine test to get an accurate result?

I have irregular periods and took a urine pregnancy test 21 days after having unprotected sex. What are the chances that this result could be a false negative?
