How do you know if i pill worked?

Ah, the joys of being an adult. Paying bills, going to work, and dealing with unplanned pregnancy scares. Fortunately for us ladies, there is a pill called “i-pill” that can save us from such mishaps. But how do you know if it worked? Let’s explore this question in hilarious detail.

The Science Behind the i Pill

First things first, let’s get scientific up in here. The i-pill contains levonorgestrel – a synthetic hormone that prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation or fertilization of an egg. In layman’s terms: no baby-making juice will reach the egg so there won’t be any fertilization.

Aftermath of Taking i-Pill

Now comes the fun part – after taking the pill! Your body goes through some serious changes post-popping that tiny little thing:

Nausea

At times it feels like your whole world has turned upside down and stomach hasn’t taken kindly to your decision.

Headaches

The standard response from most healthcare experts about headaches is…take more pills (but check with yer doc)!

Bleeding

One potential sign that you are not pregnant would be having bleeding within one week prior to when you would normally have got your menstrual cycle due.

That sounds simple enough right?

Soreness

You might feel soreness just because your hormones went haywire again! This happens routinely (though we don’t say quite explicitly).

It all depends on how much time passed between intercourse and taking i-pill.This means I cannot give a definite answer as everyone’s system reacts differently.

After all these symptoms subsiding comes another phase what we love calling ‘waiting game’

Give It Some Time

The effectiveness of any contraception method deems heavily on timing.Efficacy needs proper follow-up:
Take the pill as quickly as possible after intercourse for maximal effectiveness. (Plan B is called “emergency contraception” for a reason, people!)
Wait at least 2 weeks after taking the i-pill before taking any pregnancy tests.

Whether it’s progress or disaster – You need to wait longer sometimes.

Let’s Talk Failure Rates

No contraceptive method can offer total protection against unplanned pregnancies; condom rupture or other factors may occasionally diminish the I-pill’s efficiency rate:
When taken within 72 hours of sexual contact with protection: 99% chance that you will not become pregnant
Taken in between days Day later than the likely date of ovulation (fertile day): The efficacy range skips to about 85%, in comparison to using it straightaway which offers over 95% efficacy rate.

So this means….you got lucky! Or well…not so much!

Pregancy & Symptoms

If despite all precautions and I-pill administration you still missed your period? What happens then?
Obviously, Step One is administering a HPT available across chemist shops.
Or waiting a few more days would be prudent since beta hCG levels might have been too low when the test was placed earlier on.

You could undergo an ultrasound done by visiting your doctor but only let’s do that if really necessary

Note: Just because some symptoms are there doesn’t ensure one way or another anything yet.Symptoms like nausea, tenderness etc. may arise amongst ladies who are under stress

It Failed

Faithful reader dearies, we’ve arrived at what nobody wants to happen – failure! Don’t fret though, just take note of these solutions if things go haywire:

Take Another Pill

From brands such as PlanB you could indeed end up needing another dosage especially in cases where many hours went past…and now whole lot time has passed just get help from your local doctor or physician.

Visit Yo’ Doc

Get to the clinic and have yourself checked up,because extra precautions are neccessary.Your doc will advise whether taking another pill is required or not.

Final Thoughts

Taking an i-pill can be a lifesaver, but it shouldn’t be your primary method of contraception. Talk to your healthcare provider about finding a solution that works best for you.

In conclusion, apart from having our fingers crossed—we just have to wait–and see!!! Let these pun-tastic jokes ease the tension until you get clear results:
What do you call an alligator in a vest? An investigator.
Want to hear a joke about construction? Oh never mind, I’m still working on that one.
