Unprotected sex
Hello doc,
It’s been like 6 hours since I had unprotected sex. The condom broke while intercourse. I couldn’t take an emergency contraceptive pill ( I pill) as it is banned in our state instead I’m taking birth control pills starting from now on for 21 days (ipill daily). Will it be the same effect ? What should I do ? I’m really panicked

Cannot say if OCPs will work ,but yes if there is no pregnancy you will get ur periods three to four days after OCPs ,and if pregnant u will not get ,in which case u can do a pregnancy test to clear doubts on pregnancy.
