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.

Take a URINE PREGNANCY TEST (CARD METHOD) Test or Take a BETA HCG (TOTAL) Test

On 2nd July, I had some grinding with my boyfriend where there was precum on his tip, but there was no penetration or ejaculation. I got my period on 8th July, which ended on 13th July. On 16th July, I took a urine pregnancy test and it was negative. I am a virgin. What are the chances of me being pregnant? Should I take another pregnancy test, and if yes, when?

I had my last period on 4th November. I had unprotected sex on 25th November. What are the chances of getting pregnant? When should I take a pregnancy test? Should I take a contraceptive pill now? If yes, please tell me the drug name and instructions to take the pill. Please also mention any side effects of the pill.
